Juhan Vihterpal is a sound researcher who has crossed the line between ordinary reality and an unknown universe of sound. By going on an expedition with a self-built modular synthesizer, he has discovered access to a world where sounds are not merely audible, but distort reality and its perception. Nothing is static in this point in space-time – everything mutates, is in constant motion and transformation, like an endless pulsation through the dark corners of the mind. Every sound can be both a trigger and a trap! The sound recorder brought on the expedition captures an ever-growing and evolving mass of information, where raw and refined sounds merge into increasingly structured clouds of matter. Every sound recording is an attempt to capture a moment that itself refuses to be permanent, that wants to escape and change. Juhan Vihterpal faces the questions: how to capture the endlessly mutating universe of sound on a single sound carrier? How to store something that doesn’t want to be stored? This may be his greatest challenge.
