Watch: Harry Bryant // Orb

Are our attention spans getting longer?

The online staple, a three minute banger released every second month has stretched into the extended play - 10, 15, even 20 minutes. Harry Bryant is the latest to hold onto his keepers and slow down the clip cycle.

'Orb' clocks in at 15 minutes, and when I saw its premiere at Thirroul last Thursday the audience could've sat through 45 minutes more.

Made by Dav Fox, 'Orb' tracks Haz through his trips in 2019.

Killer soundtrack too:
Om - State of Non Return
Neu! - Negativeland
Spacemen 3 - Let Me Down Gently
Erkki Kurreneimi - Sähkösoittimen Ääniä #4+#1
Bauhaus - In the flat field
The Uplifting Bell Ends - Poison Moth Kingdom

Agreed Sprout, it's as much about the wave as it is about the surfer.

Hazza on the QS?

goofyfoot Tuesday, 4 Dec 2018 at 8:47pm

Free surfer I think.

This is surfing in 2019. He's ahead of his time!

I liked the Iggy track, if it's not him whoever it is sounds like him.

turk Wednesday, 5 Dec 2018 at 12:43pm

Bored - lasted aprox. 2 minutes. Just clips shoved together (IMO)

I hear you OHV, I normally struggle to watch 30 seconds.

But this one I watched twice and really enjoyed......

Really good mix of airs, tubes and some innovative, non-WSL type power turns.

the super8 footage and scary monster graphics was a total Dane rip-off and the only bummer.

OHV500 Wednesday, 5 Dec 2018 at 11:01pm

HeHe yes totally agree with the super8 stuff - please some originality - someone.
Calling Mick Sowry :)))

Fun fact: whips himself in the scone with his own legrope at 2:30.

Tim Bonython Wednesday, 5 Dec 2018 at 11:44pm

I liked it. Next time zoom sideways.

Loved the section from 2.20 to 4.30. Couple of insane drops he makes, and a couple he doesn't. One of the hell wipeouts looks like Ours. Music appropriately ominous!
