Life in Loops is a new version of a film, using its original material and mixing it with new imagery. About 30% of the material originates directly (in a new edit) from the documentary film Megacities by Michael Glawogger, the rest is constructed from its unused footage and new footage of Tokyo filmed by Megacities cameraman Wolfgang Thaler. The sound, created by the Sofa Surfers, defines the visual edits, and vice versa. The result is a symbiotic connection between image and sound that could best be described as an experimental-music-documentary film.
