Organism

A few years ago, filmmaker/songwriter Ken Glaser witnessed nature putting on an unusual show for the residents of Diamond Bar, CA. For several balmy August days, thousands of birds descended like raindrops from cruising altitude at dusk and gathered near the Kmart. Floating on air currents like swimmers carried by waves, they played in the wind for an hour, at times acting like a single, pulsating organism, before finally settling on a large tree. Ken captured the two nights on film, and wrote the original score that complements the hypnotic activity of the flock. Although the images seem impossible at first glance, no special effects were applied. www.glaserbeam.com
