The release features the hypnotic 32-minute journey \"Dreamachine,\" which transforms the effects of Gysin's legendary light art device into a mesmerizing audio experience, alongside the track \"The Door,\" featuring the visionary saxophonist \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eSteve Lacy\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e. A towering figure in avant-garde art, literature, and sound, Gysin influenced generations of creators, from \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eWilliam Burroughs\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e to \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eDavid Bowie\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eLaurie Anderson\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.

Matta had returned to Paris after a late-1970s stay in New York following the death of his brother, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eGordon Matta-Clark\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, and had already produced Gysin's album \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eJunk\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e and the single \"Kick\" featuring \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eDon Cherry\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e. At the center is the title track \"Dreamachine\" a hypnotic 32-minute piece built on minimalist repetition, echoing the stroboscopic effects of Gysin's iconic light sculpture. Slowly evolving grooves create a trance-like state, drawing on Afrobeat in the lineage of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eFela Kuti\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e and the laid-back, cyclical guitar patterns of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eKing Sunny Adé\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e's juju music. Conceived as a sonic extension of the eponymous visual device, invented by Gysin with \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eIan Sommerville\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eDreamachine\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e reshapes the listener's sense of time and perception.
