A two-projector film using images and sounds made directly by hand. The film is a re-working of the single-screen film Cycles #1, in which paper dots were stuck onto the surface of the film and optical soundtrack. When projected, the dots appear to fuse together as the gaps between them decrease; the separate image-moments become a single ball of light, and the separate sound-moments become a rising drone.
