Synthesis illustrates the virtuosity of Beck's work with the Direct Video Synthesizer. Conception is an abstract work that refers to origins and archetypes; Methods is a step-by-step explanation of Beck's Synthesizer. Composed with Jordan Belson, Cycles is a "videofilm" that fuses both electronic and cinematic techniques.

Produced by the National Center for Experiments in Television (NCET).
