I made a thing, which I believe is best experienced as ambient background noise, projected onto a bare brick wall. This is not something that you sit down and watch, the way you’d watch a movie or a TV show.

This video doesnt do it justice but i think youll still dig it.
in the vid, you can see walls, ceiling, corner edges. in the room, which was much darker, you could see nothing other than being in a sea of iron filings. and the bass notes were a physical experience. the combination of the powerful bass-heavy ambients, and total loss of visual orientation, was like being in Trent Reznor’s womb, feeling him from the inside.
it will sound hyperbolic (is that a non-math word?) but i want just enough money to have my coffin eternally in this room.
“I made a thing.”
Can’t tell you how much I love those words… not can I guess how often I’ll borrow them in the future.
You made a good thing. Be proud of it.
I had to stop watching. I was worried that if I kept watching a little drowned girl would climb through my TV and make me watch David Lynch’s films.
This is the most mesmerizing thing I’ve ever seen. I can feel my brain melting. I think I want to project this on the side of my house next Halloween with the soundtrack just barely loud enough to make out the words if you listen.
Ever heard any Negativland? have a taste. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDmWYVdN8ug

I like this. Is it possible to add more Lasorda?
Listen to this while caving in Minecraft.
This is similar to Adam Curtis’ work sans his narration – http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/adamcurtis
