にぎやかでファジーな音を立てるドローンブリーツと1SESSマシントランクサーキットのきしむ音、そして冷たいウォッカの上に銅板のスクラバーを使った金属製のスクリーチで、銅板のスクラバーを使って、広範囲に渡るプトゥープーオス、ゴムの光子爆発。正美、ありがとう！ Buzzing, fuzzy-schwooshing drone-bleats and squelchy 1AESS machine trunk circuit squeaks, and ample interspersing ptuoo-ptuoos, barbled tympany, rubber photon explosions with copper sheet scrubbers over ice cold vodka drenched metallic screech. Thank you, Masami! MERZILLA
