"Weakness is power, and strength is nothing. When a man is born, he is weak and pliable; when he dies, he is strong and rigid, just like a tree: while it grows, it is tender and flexible, and when it becomes hard and dry, it dies. Rigidity and strength are companions of death, while weakness and flexibility express the freshness of existence."

A panoramic panopticon. Cold, dry morning. It's raining outside. The light is electric blue, and the windows of the building are wet. Inside, the smell of coffee, smoke, and the buzzing of digital devices. Everything sterilized, everything hypoallergenic and disinfected. Dark atmospheres and leaden skies. Glacial and isolationist electronics. When the audio ends, only the electricity of the neon lights and silence must remain.
Polarbear: Why Something Instead of Nothing?

Philip Tagg said: cities are like low-fidelity stereo systems. You need music that screams above the traffic and metal. To impose oneself. To rise. To elevate. Above the traffic. Or away from it. Textual riffs for wrecked cars and gas station vending machines. The Summer of the Polar Bear. Scorching asphalt. Something of Nothing.
