Synopsis

When I ride trains, I usually get hypnotized watching the rails running parallel to mine. Although they are following the same path, they weave, cross, disappear and reappear in seemingly random ways. When I saw these twenty-eight 8mm leaders spliced together, the result was very much like the movement of the rails. I recorded the sounds on a trip from Albany to Penn Station, mostly in the spaces between cars. I've edited and mixed that sound to fit the image. (C.S.)
