Subway Melodies - Part 1

This is the first part to Subway Melodies - an experimental documentary about the musicians of the New York City subway system and its relationship between mechanical and human sounds. It explores the subway system as a stage and as a complex instrument that never stops playing, and it presents the Metrocard as more than just a ride on the subway but a ticket to a unique musical experience that can be witnessed nowhere else in the world. Not a word is spoken in Subway Melodies. The entire film takes place under ground, never leaving the subway world, and draws a new perspective on subway life as we know it.

Thank you for your kind words. I'm glad you like it. Subway Melodies took me about a year to make, but it was a lot of fun.

Wow, this isn't something i would usually take the time to comment on but this really caught my attention. I don't even like documentaries but I love music and this was really well put together. I though the music would be to abstract and it wouldn't fit together but you made them fit nicely. Bravo, you are quite talented.
