Teleport Collective - A Monolith's Dream (2024)

Teleport Collective’s “A Monolith’s Dream” is a musical portrait in two pictures. The first explores a posthuman world in which human beings have become obsolete. The music is based on a pre-composed score, it has a nostalgic touch, occasionally bordering on kitsch. Hinting at sci-fi movie scores, it weaves together grooves and lo-fi to create a (retro)futuristic fabric.

The second picture focuses on the dead end human civilization is heading into: in the midst of this throbbing cycle of production and consumption, disaster is looming. The dark industrial moods of the mostly improvised pieces emphasize the oppressive atmosphere. Teleport Collective succeed in revealing the critical potential of music: it enables us to study the present from a future perspective, helping to set free transformative forces.
