Infernum

While Infernum is a pure electronic work, its surface texture recalls acoustic instruments in real spaces — transformed and heightened in ways only possible through digital means.

Fleeting moments of nervous calm alternate with a terrifying wall of brass glissandi (up to 60 trombones!), creating the effect of a fear-response oscillating between the conscious and subconscious.

The video was assembled from footage and animations made available by the Solar Dynamics Observatory, courtesy of NASA/SDO and the AIA, EVE, and HMI science teams.
