| Two raised sticks come down onto the broad pale head of a red-brown drum on a black stand, throwing blue and golden powder into the air. The short-haired drummer wears a fitted black shirt, dark trousers and black shoes on a dark curtained stage. Just after impact, the entire powder crown hangs motionless; his body, sticks and drumhead are equally frozen at fixed positions on the stage. A low side view arcs toward the front and onward to a front-quarter angle, revealing the suspended particles against steady blue and amber illumination. When time restarts, powder drops around the stand while he lifts the sticks in recovery. | |
