Richard Bone's "Short Waves: 12 Brief Excursions Into Surreal Video" combines the moods and rhythms of today's ambient electronica and
matches it with 12 impressionistic videos each ranging between two and
three minutes. The idea was to create 12 concise pieces that capture
the viewer's imagination but then, like an elusive dream, are gone.
Some of the pieces are dark such as "Delonyka" with its menacing eyes
peering into the soul. While others are more upbeat, like the jazzy
trees of the DVD's opener, "Arboratora". Each of "Short Waves" 12
videos are unique with the whole being even greater than the sum of
its parts. Pressing "repeat play" is an inevitable outcome!
