Cory Cullinan didn’t walk into the studio with a plan. He walked in with frustration, grief and a sense that something had to be said—even if it couldn’t be said in words.What emerged was 2025 Alive, an eight-minute experimental audio-visual piece built almost entirely from improvisation. A single word—“test”—is sung, deconstructed and scattered across sonic space like ash. The rest is feeling. Unease. A scream into the silence. It is not a traditional release. It is not built to comfort. But it resonates.
