"Alaya manages a perfection of ‘musical’ light across a space of time greater in length than would seem possible... and with minimal means of line and tone. After about three minutes I began to be aware of the subtlety of rhythm, within each shot and shot-to-shot, which carried each cut, causing each new image to sit in-the-light of those several previous… a little short of a miracle". Stan Brakhage.
