REREX: Resilience and Evolution in Response to Effluent eXposure
Rerex Disc 2 is the immersive second part of the REREX album that explores the impact of human activities on the natural world, particularly in relation to environmental pollution and degradation. The album's title is an acronym for Resilience and Evolution in Response to Effluent eXposure, hinting at its central themes. Through the use of audio mimesis and textures, Rerex portrays endangered natural landscapes and the collision between nature and human environmental impact. The album also highlights the potential consequences of environmental pollution and degradation. The music is an eclectic mix of instrumental and electronic pieces, with titles that reference topics like gene editing, telecommunication, and pre-birth exposure to contaminated water.
Overall, Rerex is a thought-provoking and immersive listening experience that invites listeners to contemplate the relationship between humanity and the environment.
Disc 2 of Rerex continues exploring the themes of environmental degradation and pollution, with a particular focus on marine ecosystems.
Garbage Patch (04:45): This title likely references the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, a massive collection of plastic debris in the Pacific Ocean. The track explores the environmental impact of plastic pollution in our oceans.
Wave Within A Seed (15:04): This title references the interconnectedness of all living systems and the potential for genetic adaptation in response to environmental stressors.
Chain of Species (08:09): This title explores the intricate relationships between different species in a given ecosystem, and the potential for disruption caused by human activities like pollution.
iv (03:27): Another instrumental track,serving as a sonic exploration of the album's themes.
subsurface Touch art (02:56): convergence of factors like globalization, pollution, and ocean evolution can lead to the emergence of new forms of abstract expressionism that have their own unique beauty and aesthetic appeal. despite the negative impacts of human activities like pollution, there can be unintentional emergence of beauty and art through the fusion of technology and natural systems.. a polluted art that is the soul of modern earth with no author only interacting systems
Oceancide Fertilization (00:55): The title of this track is a play on words, combining "ocean" and "-cide," which refers to killing or destruction. a metaphorical reference to the way in which human activity impacts the ocean. The track explores the idea that humanity is impregnating the ocean with plastics and pollution, injecting a dead seed into the once-thriving ecosystem
the presence of textural information in the music that indicates the presence of globalization and mass communication systems suggest that Rerex is exploring the interconnectedness of environmental degradation, pollution, and technology.
