Pretty much every time I ask students to brainstorm about techniques for analog motion someone suggests microscopes. Yet few venture into the world of the very small due to the lack of refined control over the magnified elements within the picture. Even a delicate adjustment with a finger becomes a giant’s clumsy poke.  This performance from Westframe solves that issue by using visuals generated via microscope alongside ambient, fluid soundscapes. By dodging the issue of a tight syncronization Westframe accomplishes an ethereal and surreal aesthetic with a distinctly organic pulse.
