with thirty protruding iron needles: a video

This video uses text extracted from William James' Varieties of Religious Experience, most of the phrases that begin with "with." I used a field recording of a Russian forest and then "extracted" piano, clarinet and flute parts from the record. Then I read the text along with the music. The video uses an MRI of a neck and head mixed with a walk-through of flowers from my garden taken this summer. I superimposed and animated the images.

The title is another phrase from the James, though one I didn't use.
