Dedicated to Paulos Manta, an inmate working as an exploited fire crew member, the producer constructs a profoundly political and deeply historical electronic tapestry. The record bridges indigenous Aymara traditions and Andean rhythms with highly experimental, fractured synthesizer textures. It acts as an ambitious, conceptual critique of colonialism and the erasure of indigenous heritage in the Americas.
