Color Field—the newest A.M. Architect audiovisual album—is a subversive tale about a young lady’s magnetic draw towards a cult-like pseudo-scientific research institute in rural Texas. Color Field features a narrative short film directed by A.M. Architect, as well as a unique sculptural design object (designed & produced by 79Ancestors) which plays the soundtrack via a built-in speaker, emitting colorful waves of light which can be modulated with a series of visual effects control knobs. Dubbed the Spectrasphere, its’ video content and interaction design were inspired by speculative “color therapy” instruments offered through the films’ antagonist, The Spectra Institute. The unique and limited design-object-as-album picks up where Deru and EFFIXX left off with the labels’ genesis piece, The Obverse Box (from the “1979” project).

Constructed from a solid block of intricately-milled walnut, the external design details and unique, luminous mood-enhancing visual language make Spectrasphere an artifact intended to evoke wonder and inspire those who gaze into its’ hypnotic lens.
