This is more of an adventure and meditation than it is a narrative in the traditional sense. You basically sit back, relax, and let the time-lapse cinematography wash over you. Having the composer Philip Glass accompany every last frame is something that allows the viewer to zone out and feel at ease because the music is so well composed. Arpeggiated swells, repetition, choral vocals all arranged staccato, as if each voice was a limb. The camera is usually fixed, waiting to reveal the unfolding and progression of nature's overture, big city life, industrial assemblage, microcosmic irony.
