Atomic 3001 depicts a form of physical alienation. A virtual character is subjected to a rhythm, a perpetual and uncontrollable pulsation. A dancing machine is trapped in a futuristic ritual resembling a kind of techno frenzy. There is a being, a sound, a movement. Each sound is a movement, and each movement is a sound. A being who is fully alert; a physical quest for an absolute, for truth behind movement in sound.
