Time

After about a minute of watching the man tap dance in his chair I thought to myself 'this doesn't make any sense, what does this have to do about time?'. Twenty minutes later as i was driving to class and it hit me (or at least this is what i think). He was telling a story not performing a song. I thought it was much like an opera. We associate music with time. A song has structure and is usually 'true' or on time. Tempo changes may occur but there is still a melody of some sort. A steady drum beat or a bass line. I imagined that when the universe was just forming it was much like that man's tap dancing. It wasn't a song at all.

Time is really just a law of physics (i would think). You can't escape it. You can't reverse age. It's much like everything else and depends on the person's perspective though. If you speed up a movie file it's usually more intense and appealing. Changing the speed of a song dramatically changes the feel. Maybe it has to do with your senses. For example, if you slip on ice, as you are falling down everything seems to be in slo-mo. 'Time flies when your having fun' and is a drag when you have nothing to do. Time is exact, we are not. If we were we wouldn't have leap year.

I wanted to do something similar to the tap dancer, tell a short story, so i used a few similar sounds and threw some stars in the back ground just for an excuse to use AE. The stars were inspired by the painting and i wanted to do something visual as well as audible.
