"And this plugin that we made together a couple years ago, called Pitch Gate. It’s something that basically allows you to gate as many notes as you want. You can build this creepy sounding horn stereo, where every step of the scale has a different effect." - Waclaw Zimpel

Released: 2023 James Holden's 2023 album Imagine This Is A High Dimensional Space Of All Possibilities had some self admitted antecedents in The KLF's Chill Out and Future Sound of London's more psychedelic wibblings, but unashamedly was more of an idea than a finished work. "A song isn’t the recording that starts at 0:00 and finishes at 4:32 or whatever” he told Mixmag in interview on it's release, explaining that music's only limiting construct was that of perception itself.
