Description:
This video has the very simple concept: a reggae singer listens to himself recording. By cutting the images and re-mixing them, the artist generates confusion. Which Sammy is singing? The listening Sammy that contentedly sings along with the images of the performance or the performer that is completely transfixed, in his own world, with intense enjoyment nearly "gobbling up" the microphone? A beautiful variation on the clips that stations such as MTV pour out every day. (Rob Perree)
