CBPF.; Sound score [music], Carl Stone.; A pencil-drawn greyhound runs along a line with a blank background, appearing like a Muybridge motion study. An electronic drone, with pitches an octave apart, plays at "breathing" intervals with a percussive accompaniment. Gradually the dog is erased; pencil smudges and smears are visible as it disappears. As the dog disappears, the octave's pitches vary slightly, creating heterophony. In the end, only the line is left.; PFA 1604-01-3653.
