rhythm, texture, and the joy of creation

2025 · 3 min · Animation

a surreal, handcrafted short film inspired by HYLICS. In this world, floating creatures pulse with explosive energy, driven by a unifying harmonic scream. The second entry in ducklorde’s COLOUR SERIES, blends his experimental animation with a dithered surrealist style. It’s accompanied by an original track by Tom Hughes, that emulates Chuck Salamone’s work on HYLICS 2. The result is like watching consciousness dissolve through a microwaved sunbeam.

A tool designed for vulnerability instead forces us to "perform authenticity" for a smaller, designated audience, one that defines our in-groups and perpetuates connection, long after real-life relationships have drifted. Will the endless pursuit of digital intimacy ever teach us enough?
