This is an aural exploration of what the process of dying might sound like.
For centuries people recount the same visions of near-death experiences, now even studied in hospitals and laboratories: last breath, hearing beloved voices calling back, seeing a light from far away ...
Death is less an extinction than an ultimate electrical conflagration inside the brain.
"Après la mort la vie n’est qu’un orgasme" - Sophie Podolski
