Spin is a metaphorical representation of musical time, color and form. Synchronicity (or "synchrèse") is not a primary concern. Formally, Spin is presented in three segments each dealing with its own level of abstraction. All images are obtained by "spinning" camera techniques and severe processing, the goal being of severely altering iconicity. There are no synthetic images. Musical ideas were the determining guide for the elaboration of visual sequences, but the music was composed after the visuals. The music is made with the composer's own music and audio software. Spin was commissioned by ACREQ and was premiered in september 2000 in Montréal, Canada.
