Recorded as prototype material for the Here album (L. White Records, 2008) but ultimately unused. Deafening self-made instrument sounds run parallel with dull, boomy distorted noise, their synergy creating a strong sense of speed.
Very few sounds identifiable as laptop-generated appear—indicating increased analog equipment use following the 2005 transition. The "Etude" designation for three tracks suggests methodical exploration, studies in specific techniques. The color title evokes synesthetic experience: purple and yellow frequencies translated into visual imagination.
