Cybotron - Parallel Shift *Pre-Order

Release Date Friday 1st November 2024
All pre-orders will be dispatched/made ready for collection on that day.

Astral travel with Cybotron into the meta-narrative of the Parallel Shift, a new sonic fiction that raises many
questions about military science of the near-future and the possibility of other worlds.
Descending backward through the rhythms of time, the Skynet module retracts from the hyper-structural
society of 2100, edging toward the mid-century modern age teetering on the brink of what was then the
frontier of “the future”. The system boots the Infiniti process, morphing into a cosmotechnic vessel coursing
the superhighway of burgeoning general intelligence, seeking data from just before “the overshoot and
collapse.”
R&D methods, rhythm analytically applied, dissect the aftermath of an industrial society that burst through
the ecological capacity of Spaceship Earth. Fractal visions of war and innovation spike and recede from and
into the surfaces of reality being bent and guiding the eyes, ears, touch towards a laboratory in the year
1961. A nuclear expert, Don Lewis, receives orders to decrypt the mysterious black dodecagonal disc known
as Fortec and the extraterrestrial biology unearthed in Roswell. He joins a team disassembling Fortec and
studying the recurrent dodecahedral patterns linked to the human nervous system.
Through dismantling and probing, the team cycles through a secular search devoid of finite conclusions,
limited by Earth’s intellectual and technological prowess. One 1960s night, Lewis, while meddling with
Fortec’s cyborganic innards, accidentally electrifies himself. His cyclotron and missile experience guides him
to circuit-bend Fortec, stirring the entity from a mechanical slumber. Lewis and Fortec communicate in
resonances, until it drifts back into a tranquil stasis.
The US Defense and contractors, unbeknownst to them, observe this breakthrough. They later permit Lewis
to exit military service as the Air Force forms the Foreign Technology Division. Concurrently, MJ12 evolves
into CY12, delving into second-order cybernetics. Lewis clandestinely keeps working on Fortec fragments,
transitioning from military engineer to musician, pioneering the LEO module, a fusion of Fortec’s essence
and audio engineering.
He shares his insights with Roland founder Ikutaro Kakehashi, aiding the creation of the iconic TR-808.
Meanwhile, Fortec branches out, coining “Cyberspace” – a collective illusion of liberty unshackled by
physical, political, or spiritual bounds, anchored in the equitable distribution of The Golden Ratio across
realities. Yet “Cyberspace” morphs into a chaotic truth reservoir, spilling over into deception.
The Parallel Shift manifests in the perpetual “Now,” a collapsed event horizon where past and future are
ensnared in a relentless present, unfurling along a dissolving timeline, overseen by a monolithic simulation
under ceaseless watch…
