[...] I didn’t want ''[[Born in Flames (film)|Born In Flames]]'' to be a boring art film, so I wanted a driving, rhythmic track to run simultaneously with speeches, so they didn’t have to be listened to. I hoped the words could work subliminally. The film is about a multiplicity of voices, so even if you hear some words it’s enough. The message, such as it is, is about the need for action.</blockquote>[[Lora Logic]], 2023<ref>https://twitter.com/logic_essential/status/1663879210027343872</ref><blockquote>Just another Red Crayola day…
