I tracked down old footage of my friends at a spot we used to frequent long ago. I wanted to evoke nostalgia and the disintegration of memory over time. Coming up with any visuals or sound at all was really difficult. There’s a pacifier wherever my imagination is supposed to be. I wish I had come up with some kind of climax and drop. I also wish I had been able to come up with a visual that syncs better with the arpeggios. I tried tweaking the numbers and couldn’t find the right rhythm to sync to. The entire thing is too chaotic and unbalanced to work as a composition. But at the end, I liked the silence paired with the normal videos, because it felt like reminiscence or reflection.
