Re-Splicery 2: Having learned quite a few things from the first video I edited, I entered my second with a bit more consideration. As I jumped through a variety of old documentary films, I noticed some striking differences in the way people were living, and I thought it would be fitting subject matter for one of my favorite tracks from Myst. I remember making the rounds at fan forums after Robyn published it, sifting through the predictable complaints about matching this music to new (old) material and connecting with a kid on the east coast who understood the point of the video, and appreciated it. It was one of those spectacular moments of the early Internet days, where the revelation that I could connect with a stranger so far away was very new and exciting for me. I remember being so happy I nearly cried.
