A city never sleeps because inside which lives humans which never stops going somewhere. This time-lapse video shows the pulse of a city through the rush hour traffic in Central in Hong Kong one gloomy evening.

For the soundtrack I had wanted something repetitive and Philip Glass came to mind. I had originally written something but thought that the video works best with something by Glass. To avoid licensing issues (mostly because I publish everything via CCBY), I found a MIDI file performed by Bertrand Robion on the web [1] and mixed it with some piano samples.
