In contrast to commercial music videos, in which the visual level is integrated by means of editing, synchronization and action and it is presented as a visual component of the music, the intention in 'rewind' was to use the music itself for a visual interpretation of the images. The ultimate goal was to create a symbiotic relationship between the audio and visual material. The structure and composition of the song 'rückenwind' was interpreted as a continuous, linear movement. The title 'rückenwind' and 'rewind' emphasize the impression of constraints imposed by time and direction. Acoustic interference are reproduced as visual impurities and break through the time axis in a rhythmic way predetermined by the music. In a purely technical sense, the visual interference was filtered out of the musical level by means of algorithms and transferred to the visual level through recoding. [n:ja]
