""Conceptually a lot of the video was inspired by the themes of Tranquilizer itself, exploring themes of archiving and degradation," says Elliott. To create this heady balance of catalogued crumbing, Elliott and George devised a narrative surrounding a piece of software that's tasked with forecasting natural disasters, documenting and analysing values like wind speed and precipitation - "essentially a worst-case scenario machine", Elliot says."
"The music video serves as a canonical screen recording of the fictional environmental device, following it as it slowly "gives up on objective prediction", Elliott outlines. The narrative is carved out through the awakening of the device as it discovers divinity and enlightenment, surrounding its acceptance that, out there, lies the unknown. It cannot maintain its logic as it learns new ideas. It's a very real, bespoke software created for the purpose of this music video."
The music video visualizes a fictional forecasting device that records and analyses environmental metrics like wind speed and precipitation. The device acts as a worst-case scenario machine that gradually abandons objective prediction as it awakens to divinity and the unknown. Most of the visuals are screen recordings of pixel-based simulations where red pixels behave like fire, green pixels represent grass, and blue pixels flow like water. Modifier controls synchronize weather and volcanic events with the track. The sequence culminates in moss reclaiming devastated landscapes, reflecting regrowth and adaptation through a late code change that emphasizes bittersweet optimism amid decay.
