A stop-frame animation made with cut-out blobs of coloured paper juxtaposed. The soundtrack is a collage of radio fragments.

"An abstract movie by the notorious bibliophobe and Skoob erector. Blobs and dots tumble and tremble about in patterns which at once please the eye and baffle the mind. Some see it as a visualization of party chit chat. For others it is a formal exercise in kinetic art. Whatever one thinks, and even if one doesn't, this is a welcome new move in the too rare Fischinger tradition." - London Filmmakers Coop catalogue
