Documenting. Things should come apart, and come together in a more organized way.

(Wear Headphones)
Audio:
Ambient sound is captured through a disk de-fragmentation process and this is mixed with recorded audio segments from synthesizer sessions. This audio track was then slowed down.

Defrag:
In the maintenance of file systems, defragmentation is a process that reduces the amount of fragmentation. It does this by physically organizing the contents of the mass storage device used to store files into the smallest number of contiguous regions (fragments).

Peak

Duration: 5:01

This video is a combination of things. I spent time researching the epic and gruesome journey that Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary endured to make the first summit of Mount Everest. Much of the footage is found footage of climbers navigating deep crevasses on narrow ladders laid across a gap within a melting glacier. This video also features one of the most dangerous features on the mountain: the Hillary Step. This video also features multiple spacewalks and moon landing sequences that reference some of the most inhospitable locations humans have visited. Liquid water from a meditative ASMR video is used throughout the video to create feeling of weightlessness.

Found Footage:
-Climbing Hillary Step on Everest
-Everest Rescue
-HD Go Pro Spacewalk
-July Skywatching Portland
-Landing on the moon: NASA
-Mount Everest Crevasse
-Mount Everest Helmet Camera
