ZEN FOR TV
|Poland|5:46
Director: kinoMANUAL
The ambient track ZEN for TV is a nostalgic recollection of the times when you could get to the end of a TV show. Television stopped broadcasting a few minutes after midnight. After that, there was only black and white noise on the screen. With some imagination, you could see Zen stone gardens amid the noise, being patiently raked by a silent monk. Staring at the end of a TV show is a kind of late 80's electronic meditation. |
