Synopsis

A rapid collage of fragmented light, shadow, color, and abstract silhouettes moves in tight relation to the unstable electronics of "Plurals." Images appear, overlap, dissolve, and flare rather than forming a conventional narrative, creating the sensation of memories breaking apart and reforming. The video shifts between darkness and bursts of illumination, with repeated visual elements building toward an increasingly dense, hallucinatory stream. Its disjointed structure mirrors the track's stuttering rhythms and distorted, dreamlike atmosphere.

Factoids & Trivia

• "Plurals" appeared on patten's debut album, "GLAQJO XAACSSO," released by No Pain in Pop on September 26, 2011.

• The video emerged in late October 2011, shortly after the album's release, and was presented as one of the record's standout tracks.

• Contemporary coverage emphasized the video's layered treatment of fragmented light, shadow, and color, noting how closely its visual language matched the album's disorienting electronic intensity.

• The track was frequently discussed alongside the work of experimental electronic artists such as Clark, Autechre, and Actress, although reviewers also stressed that patten's sound had a distinct identity of its own.

• The release period was part of patten's deliberately elusive early presentation. His public profile was sparse, with interviews and coverage focusing more on the music and audiovisual work than on conventional artist biography.

• The video was also part of the period's broader presentation of patten as an audiovisual artist. A headline appearance announced for January 19, 2012, was billed as an AV set rather than a standard club performance.
