The audio titled "Machine of Vader" opens with the rhythmic sound of a mechanized breathing apparatus, the deep inhale and exhale creating a sense of foreboding. This is the central character of the audio, a breathing-machine, a device designed to aid in respiratory functions. The machine's operations are steady, almost hypnotic, akin to the ebb and flow of water. The constant cycle of inhalation and exhalation mimic the natural rhythm of human lungs, yet the mechanical nature of the sounds reminds us that this is not a natural process, but one assisted by technology. Suddenly, the sound of the machine changes, the tempo quickening as if reflecting a moment of distress or urgency. It is here that the listener can clearly recognize the machine as a lung-machine, an apparatus intended to replace or augment the function of the lungs. The audio maintains this heightened pace for a while, adding an element of suspense, before gradually returning to its initial steady rhythm.
