It was written to be kind of like a musical, but because it was never finished, it was like shooting a movie that wasn’t fully edited right. Machina I was like one edit of the footage, and Machina II was some of the leftover footage – but there was even more stuff leftover. So, this was my attempt, 20 years later, to kind of finish the movie and in the process of trying to finish the movie, realizing the movie can never be finished because a lot of stuff wasn't finished. Some stuff I was able to finish and some stuff is unfinished that I present. It's almost like a sketch but in the aggregate of listening to it you kind of get the sense of the movie I was after.
