What Actually Happened ?

Abstraction arrived at by extreme, in camera, panoramic distortion and multiple effects of photo manipulation.

 

The title is taken from a piece by Brian Eno, wherein he started with an actual New York City Police investigation, somehow scooped, which was then mixed into the music he built around the recording. There is technology and menace behind the piece and a general sense of confusion although energies are being driven forward by the momentum of events. Repeatedly you hear a manipulated voice ask, "What actually happened?"

 

I thought that Eno's extremely electronic music that seems to throw reflecting shards and shrapnel into the "wind" over a constant machine-like drone was a suitable match for the image.
