Transcript with sound descriptions

[A female voice whispers]
Remember something was there. Coming out of the ground.

[Overtop]
Look. Look here.

[Ambient drone music with rhythmic sound of a metal object striking a surface in the background]We are quantum caresses. Little quantum caresses.We’re your quantum caresses. 

[Kissing sounds]
[Ambient drone music with crackles like embers of a fire in the background]
We are quantum caresses. Mmmmm.
We feel you.
You feel us? We are we. Ah. You. Oui, oui, we are we.

[Exhale]
[Very quietly]
Deep down, down, down.

[Snap]
We’re here.

Deep down together here.

[Exhale, click]
We feel. We are the walls.

Deep down together here.

Deep down together here.

Little [gasp] little, little caresses. We are quantum caresses.

[Um, pop, exhale, gasp]
Mmmmmm.

[Gasp]
She was here, ready to smoke it all, swallow it all.

No, we can’t, we won't sell our shadows.

[Snap]

We know quantum computers and qubit can feel it when a star dies. Mmmm.

We feel, when a star dies.

[Rustling]
In ecstasy you are swallowing everything that comes to you.

[Slurp]
We are the dust on the floor. The wall, here. The carrots.

You are the tentacles of this drone. You are the octopus pixels feeling you, touching you.

[Ambient drone music with rhythmic sound of a metal object striking a surface in the background]
[Long, high-pitched bird squeak]
‘You are so hot,’ he said.

[Whistle]
We are quantum caresses.

She said.

[Fast bird chirps]
She learned to sound like a bird.

[Bird chirps]
He said. [Fast bird chirps] ‘It’s warm. It’s so warm.’

[Bird chirps]
They said.

[Inhale, exhale]
She said. [Bird chirps] ‘We’ll become one.’

They said, ‘we are quantum caresses.’

[Whistle]
No, we can’t, we won’t sell our shadows.

[Bird chips]
They said.

[Bird squeaks and honks]
There. [Bird squeaks]

[Snap]
There.

Can you think of an animal?

He said. [Bird squeaks and honks]

‘There is no mind. We are we.’


It’s nice to be here.

We know.

Tell me to smoke. Into the smoking mother.

Mmmm.

[Snap]
This is us, holding your voice.

[Very quietly] Deep, we’re going out, out, out. So deep.

[Big exhale]
Sure, sure. Mmmm.

She said. [Fast bird chirps]

She learned to sound like a bird.

We are your phone in your pocket.

[Bird chirps]
We are the clothes warming you.
We are the carpet there.

[Bird chirps]
We are the message, just arrived in your phone.

We are we. We are we. [Snap] We are one.

[Muffled voice whining, indecipherably at first] Mom. What do I eat?

[Bird chirps] ‘We’ll become one.’

[Muffled voice whining] What do I eat, mother? They said.

[Bird chirps]

[Muffled voice whining] What do I eat? What do I do, what do I do, mother? Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, what do I do, do, do? Love, love, love, love, love, love, love. Mother. They said.

[Bird chirps]

[Muffled voice whining]
What do I do? What do I do? What…

[Indecipherable]

[Bird squeaks]
He said.

[Loud, high-pitched bird squeaks]
Tell me to smoke. Into the smoking mother.

[Bird squeaks]
