The experimental American composer performed a short electronic set inside the iconic venue. It began on burning, solarised white noise minimalism which he manipulated controls over, creating ethereal, howling frequencies and then a transition to a soothing, ambient synth with mingling, ghostly glistening frequencies like an aurora borealis of sound.
The final stage of the unbroken piece of trance music saw beams and gradations of synthscapes that gave the feeling of dark and immersive cosmic exploration, finally reducing to a set of crackles at the end.
