The subtle variations of depth and temperature of the color on the blue screen in Monochrome Transporter audibly affect the tones and rhythm of the drone sound composition. Although the transitions are at first barely noticeable, one’s senses become more and more alert to the synesthetic changes as time is spent immersed in the seductive, near metabolic influence of the work.
