Hollywood Video Game Kill-Bot "Night"

Minimalist lovely soundscapes flow from my speakers today as I've discovered yet another act worthy of mention. Lawndale, California "band" (quotes because it's one of those situations where there is one guy, Zachary Chacon, doing the heavy lifting - writing, arranging, recording, and performing) has a new track titled "Night." 


The song opens with tense piano chords, or clusters followed by an electro-beat. Everything feels very disjointed but in a way that paces itself, then wraps around making the tune very satisfying. There is also the inclusion of noise-made-into pad elements which I love. I imagine that fans of early to mid-NIN or Aphex Twin would enjoy Hollywood Video Game Kill-Bot. This track in particular seems to hold a lot of potentials, like could it be a soundtrack? a dance piece? videogame music? All of the above seems apt but perfectly enjoyable as a standalone as well.
