There are 3 main movements, with a few other short segments, but only 2 of them are fully done and posted here Prelude: Starting off with a mysterious E from a synth, other instruments add in with foreshadowing of themes from the show, an accelerando follows until the hi-hat kicks in; counting us off into- Movement I-Square: A funky romp in E minor, with duets from keyboard and battery percussion instruments intoducing the themes.

The xylo and marimba then have the melody, which switches between 7/8 and 4/4 a few times, with Crotales (when we find a way to mount them) adding in on the 4/4 bars. The melody then transfers to the glockenspiel before a crescendo up the keyboards; causing a "false climax" (a silent 2 beats.)

A catterpillar roll is traditionally a half sheet of Nori (Seaweed technically i think its an alge) wapped around Unagi (BBQ freshwate eel) rolled in sushi rice then topped with avacado, Tobikko (flying fish roe) and dripped with Unagi sauce.

In the future when the ice cap melts to a point where lower lands get flooded with water, new life forms evolves underwater. But this time, it's no amoeba. It's the waste materials humans left behind. The machines and corpses merges and evolves into what I captured on the tape. Alright! This is made for my match moving class at Gnomon. I shot this footage in downtown Los Angeles, off the 101 freeway and integrated my CG fish in there. Designed, modeled, rigged, and animated by me Enjoy! -Wei-Chuan Hsu
