Michael Gira (of the band Swans) plays solo inside what appears to be a church. When the images and audio, both purportedly from the concert, start deviating from what is likely to have transpired, truth and reality are called into question. Visual effects and a remixed soundtrack keep I Wonder if I’m Singing What You’re Thinking Me to Sing from being a presentation of an event, turning it into something like a hallucination—in black-and-white.
