Every time he woke up,
it was the same problem. An ambiguous call and response is enacted between a roaring,
stormy ocean and a solitary figure whose wailing lament is fashioned from oohs
and aahs sampled from pop music. The ocean, too, is a composite of footage
from diverse film sources, a catalogue of storms remembered or imagined.
Like a siren the singer howls at his sublime interlocutor until his voice is engulfed,
overwhelmed and silenced.
