Chance - a film by Mela

Have you ever listened to two songs at once?

The "Chance" experience of this conceptual video really kicks in when you play another piece of music of similar length along with it and experience them together. Once you've heard this piece alone, pick out something you like of similar sound and of about the same length as this piece and play it in tandem to hear something new...and really listen.

I like to use instructions in my work and to base my art on chance. I produced all the imagery and the audio myself with instructions that it had to be at least six minutes long and entirely original. I like to manipulate images of birds, insects and shapes found in nature and recordings of common sounds for my art.

Give (This) Piece A Chance

The original film is of far better quality and shows a great deal more detail. YouTube ruined it. Maybe I should try re-posting.

Great work. It pulls you and never let's go. Like all art I appreciate, it doesn't beg for interpretation, although one is left free to do so. I love this.
