"Big Rock Grid" (audio only) [mp3 removed]

Update: I had a Quicktime .mov with this as a soundtrack but the file size is too large for my lo-fi standards so I pulled it.

Update 2: Here is the screenshot for the .mov. I may put the file back up if I can find a politely amusing way to explain the exorbitant download time.

Update 2: I've edited the .mov [converted to .mp4] to pick up the pace a little bit. I have also made a DVD of this video on a bigger scale that plays on a CRT, so this is a thumbnail version of that with full sound.

I was hoping it would figure itself out by the end of the song...

My only regret is 24 MB. That's a lot of d/l time for an "art statement."

It was a slow download as well. Hope it is not draining your site.

I pulled the movie; I'd rather have dental surgery than talk about bandwidth. Thanks for letting me know. Very frustrating, trying to stay out of YouTube.

Now I feel bad. I could try to compress it with all these worthless Mac programs I never use on my laptop.

I'm making a video that's 480 x 480--it looks much better on that scale.
If this one was 10 MB I'd leave it up.
Problem is YouTube has conditioned us to expect instant downloads. 4-5 minutes is an eternity in Internet time.
I kind of hate video anyway. That's why my one YouTube is going to be that 2 headed deer.
And why this one was so klutzy and unresolved. There seems to be a vast genre of under-one-minute mindblowers on the Web, linked to by boingboing and the like, where, say, "the Rubik's cube is magically solved on the final note" and you are "wowed." Anyway it probably wasn't a good enough shaggy dog joke to have anyone mad at me for sacrificing five minutes of their day.
