I Am a Strange Loop

My third song for February Album Writing Month is a self-referential song in honor of Douglas Hofstadter, whose new book, I Am a Strange Loop, is about our concept of “I.” He proposes that our consciousness comes from our ability to be conscious of ourselves; that we are the product of strange self-referential loops. This song is built entirely of loops and feedback, and ends with a re-recorded version of itself. The video makes use of video feedback, a topic he discusses at length.
