A composition of waters (adjusted to fit)

A grey screen fades into image as mechanical humming stirs and two distinct ripples of overlapping concentric circles fill the screen and vibrate with the sound. In their interference, small blurry points appear to raise and pulse as the synthesizer sound continues to hum. The shadow of a hand appears from nowhere eclipsing the image in large part as a slightly yellowed drop appears on the surface of the black and white image of vibrating wavy water. The hum continues as more shadow play leaves as quickly and non-dimensionally as it arrived. The vibe is somewhere in the blur of science and ritual. The sound is steady but sawed in shape. Cut to the same framed waves now with the drops nearing one another. A clear eye shaped form diverts the waves that nonetheless still interfere, the sound now with less tone and more air pulses with the ripple of the water. Just as the drops near tangential they disappear without touch but the jump cut feels like a touch of its own, an interrupture that sutures always the same frame. Now one minute in, the drops have parted and one remains as the frame itself appears to close in blacking out the right side as a new drop is foreshadowed in silhouette that pushes the ripples when it lands. The earlier toned sawtooth hum remains to remind us as the drops are pushed closer together. Flicker appears along with the sound of a shutter and a third drop appears in shadow alone. Clear eye and folded hand divide them. Shutter click cliché jump cut again. The two drops merge at their grayed bounds. More cuts, more drops, now blue spills in. The hum continues as the entire screen saturates in blue, the sound is more intense but also softer. A quickening is coming. But for now we’re lost in hue almost meditative in gaze, mesmerized by warm blue glaze. The blue bleeds back and its loss feels red but is gray again. The camera shudders its shutter in quick click flickers almost paparazzi, part X-ray on speed dial. Black jump cuts come black pool party fade the grey away altogether. The close shot pulls up to break the frame and the soft air tick returns as the camera pans up. In a glimpse above this new horizon a light appears in the pitch dark revealing for a second the peach cheek of an onlooker, leaving the fade to black to appear a cut.
