about

"NORMANDY PARK, Wash. -
Coast Guard crews stopped an unmanned boat in Puget Sound after it spent more than two hours traveling in circles."

- Description of www.youtube.com/watch?v=EOSvs89MMQM

I've spent an unhealthy amount of time over the past two months obsessed with this video, discovered via the Cookies basketball podcast. Beyond or beneath the mesmerizing quality and gripping, long-form drama of the footage itself, there's something deeper going on that (to me at least ) speaks to the unsettling, unfathomable existential spirit of this moment in history.

All audio generated from the droning drone audio soundtrack of the video, and the composition itself syncs to the action; this is a preview of a forthcoming full-length, 1.5 hour piece with accompanying manipulated video from "SeacrestCheadle" aka UMeanCompetitor. Please Vote November 6.
