What an interesting sight this 1989 short by Nobuhiro Aihara is to me. Beginning with still shots of nails before they move via stop motion, it gives way to an assault of morphing b&w ink shapes before eventually becoming an array of ever changing forms and patterns of color. Psychedelic is used to describe this in the synopsis, and I'd say that's pretty apt. The soundtrack (which is credited to RA') has a haunting melody with a slow tempo breakbeat that adds much to the surreal multicolored trip of a short film. The music reminded me Future Sound of London or Autechre, giving this brief4 and a half minutes short the feel of something I'd have seen on MTV's AMP back in the mid/late '90s. I can only imagine what viewing this post rave in those days would've been like. An odd little avant-garde piece of animation that I really enjoyed for what it is, and is worth a look if psychedelic imagery is up your alley. No LSD required.
