Thinks happen: Thinking in Rhythm

No Reason. I just thought it was clever.

Things ain't what they used to be. (In fact, they never was.) The Profile (more than you really wanted to know) is here.

A short video. I paid more attention to the soundtrack than I did the short video. I was sitting in an automatic “touchless” car wash and thinking how the rhythm and flow of the water jets sounded so much like my own heartbeat. In the car wash one has a rather claustrophobic feeling of being inside of everything anyway. So the next time I went through I did about 2 and a half minutes of video with my pocket Fuji. I used the soundtrack of the actual car wash for a basis. I added a short clip of Harry James from “Feet Draggin’ Blues” at the first. Then I added a clip of a piece from Andes Manta a favorite group of mine, then my own heartbeat for a while. I had always liked the opening two measures by Gene Krupa in a live version of "Caravan" from Benny Goodman. I took those two drum solo measures and multiplied them up to the length I needed and then overlapped the carwash, the heartbeat, another bit of Andes Manta with Krupa under all of it, on out to white frame at the end. I think the reddish part at the end is some kind of spotless rinse squirted on near the end of the wash cycle. As you might gather, I probably won’t be doing this often.
