Sound is absolutely at the centre of the tape. It is the sound that carries the piece and dictates its form. The video images are forced to conform to musical rules. Zoetrope uses concrete sounds and images and the language of Musique Concrète. It also takes on a little of the LoFi/HiTech gloss of MTV, whilst remaining one step removed. Zoetrope is an object from technological detritus - howling feedback, power spikes, white noise and video snow. The black blue screen, flickering slightly. "Don't watch the light, watch the spaces between. “
