Chasm!

Thank you for this extended clip. I’ve been trying to watch it for a few days. I agree – a marked difference. It’s sheer horror, what has been lost. I say ‘trying’ as in the end I’ve had to turn off the sound, and look for alternative music to play in the background (actually some string quartets by Sergey Taneyev that I had been listening to anyway, if still not exactly fitting) as I found the weird dissonance of the electroacoustic soundtrack very sinister and unappealing, ruining what were, ideally, happy memories, and physically jarring the expected flow of the footage. I wish content creators wouldn’t mar their videos with inappropriate modern ‘music’, although I take it in this case the archived footage is from some type of modern art establishment, so I’d expect as much. It’s the same with some podcasts I briefly examined recently. They kept pausing their discussion to play hideous oi punk rock, seeming to revel in the degenerate anti-art, as if nothing were the matter. On a side note, I ceased my own amateur musical composition efforts some years back for the same reason, most unhappy at the equally degenerate and unworthy sound I had improvised. if I were making a video podcast, I would pick nothing but carefully selected Classical (Britain’s Classic FM regularly disappoints me with their egalitarian lack of artistic imagination).
