To be clear, what I mean is that the message conveyed by that video feels vague (esp. without the musical context), and I now have trouble understanding what I specifically meant with it at the time. Thus it feels meaningless (it might not for anyone else, of course, and that's OK).

Creative outputs do not need to have any meaning (for the authors or anyone else) to be valid and art.

@Odi That would honestly make far more sense to me! 😅

@Odi Two handed swords. How do they even work.

@meqif Are those tiny translucent breadboards? :3

I completely forgot about making this video in the meantime, and was reminded by a random spam "like" on Vimeo...

I guess I was feeding on the aggressiveness of both "Add Violence" and "Not The Actual Events", and I had that atypical creative output (which is very meaningless, I'm aware of that).
And it's not that I'm proud of it, but I'm certainly not ashamed by having uploaded that video on to the internet.

Shortly after Nine Inch Nails released the EP "Add Violence" in 2017, I had an idea to use the infamous progressive distortion loop spanning 7m40 at end of "The Background World".

This was 6 months after the inauguration of the fascist that is now president of the USA, so it was very fresh...

Using a clip of that dreadful event, looping and slowly degrading for 7m40 in sync with the noisy track, I made "The Foreground Noise": https://vimeo.com/226393604

@SuricrasiaOnline USB to fill the battery status icon, Ethernet to fill the internet status icon.

@kiilas Thank you. I can only hope I can trade my hard-earned ⭐ for some ear bleach. 🙉

@kiilas The worst thing is that I can't say I wasn't warned before I clicked that link and listened to that song begin to finish. Because you did warn us.

@kiilas Happy annihrtary! 🎉
