about

The second law of thermodynamics states that entropy of an isolated system only increases. The arrow of
time goes only in one direction because entropy does. In view of the universe as an isolated system, the
proved expansion and acceleration occurs because of the intrinsic push towards entropy. The concept of
this EP is an interpretation of how entropy could possibly relate to nature, life and intelligence.
Paradoxically, life is an organized system contradicting the direction of entropy. However, if we observe
the resources consumed by the organized system called life, then entropy clearly increases. Therefore, in
the whole picture, life follows the direction of entropy.
From the first living protobionts ~4 billion years ago till today, life evolved towards technological
intelligence. Intelligent life brings the paradox further towards the extremes where our ultra-organized
structures cause the further degradation of the surrounding environment, therefore increasing the overall
state of entropy.
Intelligence appears as a natural consequence of the directionality of entropy, therefore, intelligence is
one of the possible expressions of pure chaos.
The EP features one collaboration with the soprano singer Dimitra Tripi and includes two obscure and
haunting remixes from the Beijing project Zaliva-D and the Belgian project Ah Cama Sotz. The music genre
cannot be well identified but it spaces from the dark electronic/ambient in the tracks 1,2,3 to rhythmic
noise in track 4.
