The video “Bending Sounds” by Tim Sessler wonderfully captures the sites and sounds of the NYC subway. As the camera slowly meanders through the stations, people rush by, jumping on and off train cars, in and out of turn styles, and along subterranean corridors. The sounds of chatter and footsteps, and the rumble of the subway fade in and out as the camera approaches a number of subway musicians, each with their own sound, style, and charisma.

While the camera moves smoothly through the crowds, slowly, it inevitably passes by each musician, just as everyone around them does, so that each sound fades out just as quickly as it began.
