SOPHIE and Juliana Huxtable team up as Analemma, share “Plunging Asymptote”

Taken from locus error, a conceptual collection also featuring Nina Kraviz, Antigone, and more.

SOPHIE, the Grammy-nominated electronic artist behind 2018's Oil of Every Pearl's Un-Insides, has teamed up with Shock Value's Juliana Huxtable for a new song called “Plunging Asymptote,” released under the moniker of Analemma. The challenging experimental track is built around clashing synth noise and a voice repeating "Plunging Asymptote against a white noise more torturous than silence." The overall effect is as if someone pulled a fire alarm on a spaceship's dancefloor, and instead of safety instructions, the disembodied computer voice spouts avant-garde poetry.
