A computer program accidentally develops sentience. The desktop it's running on has a gorgeous background photo, it thinks to itself. A reverse google search reveals that the picture was taken in Venice, Italy. The program downloads the Wikipedia article on Venice, and slowly becomes infatuated with a city halfway across the world. The computer's primary user starts finding browser pages left open, some simply innocuous articles about famous Venetians, or pasta recipes, but on occasion, tickets to one of Italy's many airports. The true curse of sentience is the knowledge that the program can never experience the city on a pedestal for itself, and can only live vicariously through the tales of sentient beings with sensory and nervous systems. One day the computer will be turned on for the last time, with family photos and financial documents transferred to a backup drive. The operating system shuts down for the final time, along with a rogue operative that never saw Venice.

This is ok ambient-drone, but it does not quite cut it for me. Some tracks are cool - 'The Other Face', the opener and closer - with nice interesting textures, but others e.g. track 2 are more a glitchier gimmicker version of ambient that I like a lot less. At the very least I think these tracks are not well integrated and break the drone mood created by the others, instead of changing it. Still a nice jam. 3.6
