A screenshot of the work. Stark black and white radiating circles, with the text 'Their gaze slides onto the clock. Colin and James sketch their band. 'You're not worried.'' The Clock lies.

Fearful, James gazes into the distance. 'I'm sad now.'' James is burning a manuscript carelessly. ''That was dumb.' ' Against a white background, the text 'The living room is half collapsed. Morag looks envious of Johnny. Johnny lingers over the rose. 'Are you going to leave me?'' 'I'm extremely bad at the moment.'' The rose is sacred. There is a chill in the living room. Johnny addresses Morag's ring.'' Radiating black and white rings, with the text 'Sorley appears scared. Lynn grins at Sorley. 'Wait!'' A fierce heat rocks the bathroom. Sorley worries about the crockery. The bahroom is no longer theirs. The crockery shatters. Lynn curls up.'' Against a white background, the text 'The statue sucks the air out of the room. Dougal is furious with Donald. A deep rumble tumbles into the house. The house is mouldy. 'You're going to be fine?'' Dougal is happy with the statue. Carefully, Dougal gazes into the distance.

The suggestion of a story, an ancient* speech synthesizer, and shimmering, wavering tones; awaitingTheProjectedCurve is part procedural storyteller, part endless drone generator.

It has no concept of story structure, only a series of disconnected sentence generators. Instead all the hard work is offloaded onto the reader/viewer/listener, who construct a story in their head based on the juxtaposition of these disconnected sentences.

Content Warning: awaitingTheProjectedCurve incorporates high contrast moving repeated patterns as a visual motif.
