DIRECTOR'S NOTE
As a starting point I wanted to explore the concept of improvisation as it is explored in music. 
I began to edit the film in silence, composing possible rhythms with pictures for an imaginary song. I was sending visual threads and excerpts to Pedro that he was using as inspiration for his composing process. After a while, he start sending me threads and musical excerpts for me to use as inspiration for my editing work. This creative ping pong images and sounds made us arrived to a word, an idea, which resulted in this film.
