The evocative title conjures thresholds between states of matter - solid becoming liquid becoming gas becoming plasma. Plasma Door captures Merzbow at a moment of material transformation, sound itself seeming to change state under extreme pressure. Plasma - the fourth state of matter, found in stars and lightning - represents extreme energy, matter pushed beyond normal limits.
The "door" suggests passage, transition - portals to altered perceptual states. Listeners passing through this door enter territories where conventional physics no longer apply.
