Circuitry and breath through cybernetic textures, where tones feel half-machine, half-memory, it lands in moments of weightless groove, tugged by subtle modulations of tension and unpredictability alongside with tranquil atmospheres - depth across shifting tones of what is within our grasp and what escapes us.

Cyprien Gaillard - Retinal Rivalry
Label: PAN
Cat.No.: PAN 157
Release Date: 17 October 2025
Purchase: pan.lnk.to/RetinalRivalry

Retinal Rivalry is the soundtrack to Cyprien Gaillard’s new stereoscopic film, Retinal Rivalry (2024). It is an entrancing journey through Germany’s urban landscape and its layers of historical and social significance. Building on his previous exploration of the sculptural qualities of three-dimensional moving images, the work extends beyond the confines of the screen. By harnessing cutting-edge technology to its full potential, Gaillard offers an expanded, sharpened and deeply affecting novel view of the world around us.

Retinal Rivalry is named after the visual perception phenomenon that occurs when the brain receives two conflicting images at the same time. Instead of blending into one 3D image, the neural system alternates between prioritising one image while suppressing the other, causing confusion and discomfort for the viewer.

Gaillard’s film engages with these complexities of visual processing and the limitations of technology, collating visual information through exceptional, often tongue-in-cheek, shots that intertwine the inside and outside, the contained and dispersed, and the natural and built.

His camera adopts unusual viewpoints, shifting from smooth aerial perspectives to a rodent’s low gaze to the dizzying darting in and out on the bulbous nose of a sculpture, or a long shot of a train moving through a landscape, drawing us into a layered experience that teeters between a bad trip and unexpected beauty providing solace.

The film’s score draws from diverse sonic elements, bolstering its exploration of dissonance and synchrony. Indonesian instrumental music is reworked and combined with field recordings of heavy machinery rumbling and strangely melodic retching. The soundtrack also incorporates the opening lines to Werner Herzog’s Aguirre, the Wrath of God (1972), along with its accompanying overture by German band Popol Vuh. 

The soundscape of Retinal Rivalry contrasts its images—what we see is often at odds with what we hear. Only one section lets sound and image converge: a fractured leg pumps the pedal of an interactive organ to play a piece by Johann Sebastian Bach that repeatedly falters.

The film Retinal Rivalry will be on view at Haus der Kunst in Munich from October 17, 2025, to March 8, 2026.

"Rebound" is the new EP from Zero Crossing Points coming out on katharsis on November 17th, a work that feels both intimate and expansive, drifting between reflection and release. Drawing elements from several genres, the EP ranges from quiet and discrete soundscapes, to vivid blasts of raw emotions. Fragments of voice appear throughout, human yet often transformed, woven together with sweeping synths, bowed strings, digital manipulations, and textures that feel at once fragile and grounded. The result is a sound world that blurs the line between the synthetic and the organic, the remembered and the reimagined. Japanese video game music dances together with musique concrete elements, echoes of sacred music meet screaming metal drones. There is a sense of searching that runs through Rebound - it is music that lingers in the in-between, where distortion becomes tender and introspection turns into motion.
