Sonic Habitat no.148
The piece is a visual poem reciting circularity of sight and sound. It starts out with a still image of blue, green, and transparent glass marbles scattered on a blank five-staff music sheet. Then, it abruptly transitions into a view in motion walking on a bridge across a freeway. The bridge wall with countless circular holes perform an optical rhythm, giving transient fragments of cityscape.
