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.
