I knew that but I wanted to compare Pièce and Whistle because they both have more commonground than Pièce and Alone and upon rewatch, I think Pièce actually works much better than Whistle because of the fact that its repetitive nature is allowed much more time to breathe and really absorb the viewer compared to Whistle, which I love, but does comparatively feel less engaging because of the fact that it’s a 5th of Pièce’s runtime and thus can’t really engage with each new thing added or subtracted as much as when Pièce decides to move on towards the next couple frames.
