What it’s about. The ocean, the trees, the varieties of cityscape and landscape assert themselves as "pictures", but the images are essentially a wash and tangle of nervous feedback, sometimes influenced by the colors of inlet waters, sometimes the wave movements, but more ordinarily by the cellular shifts and shapes of the optic system receiving exterior imagery.

How it landed. With an audience score of 6.0/10, Prelude 7 has drawn a solid, mixed-to-positive response.
