about

please excuse the default instruments this is my first time ever using sunvox. i really like it so far though, I definitely need to play around with it a lot more

anyway: breaking the frozen stillness of the boreal forest by moonlight, making what seem to be the only tracks and the only sounds for miles, you trudge through nearly shin-deep snow. you've been searching for it since the first of december: the ultimate machine, one that defies belief, and yet calls to you so clearly as if it must almost be within your grasp now. a machine that can create a fresh pair of clean socks at the press of a button, requiring no apparent resources - no cotton, no wool, no fabric of any kind, a spontaneous sock generation device requiring nothing besides minimal user input and a pair of AA batteries. something that could only exist in the As-Seen-on-TV store in a dream. if the legends were true, you'd never have to wash a sock again, never fret over being too broke to replace yet another pair you'd worn holes into from walking. even now, despite your winter boots' best efforts, you can feel the pair you're wearing grow frustratingly moist from the frigid snow as they slowly disintegrate, as all socks do. but soon, those problems will become so trivial to you, you'll forget you ever had them. because it's got to be real, and it must only be a bit farther now.

behind you, your tracks start to disappear as the snow only grows deeper.
