It's hard to explain the cultural significance of Vine to anyone that didn't experience it. I can still remember the Vines I made despite losing them to the whims of the business decisions that would eventually shutter the platform forever. It was beautiful in its simplicity and held a special place in the hearts of many. The memory of it only lives on in shoddy YouTube compilations that could easily be overlooked as clickbait to the untrained eye. For those of us that remember, the compilations still have the capacity to shepherd us through our darkest moments.
RIP Vine. You were a strange one.
โThere he goes. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.โ

This pre TikTok era of 7 second video clips cemented the dumbest shit in my brain for some reason
I keep thinking about one with a slideshow of snakes wearing braces/dental work/grills with the song "Run It" by Chr*s Br*wn playing in the background

Here it is, folks! Volume I of what could very well be a continuous project. Thank you so much to everyone that submitted - I smiled the entire time I was putting this together. It's best listened to with headphones โบ๏ธ
Liner Notes:
This collection of field recordings is a collaborative effort with users of PI.FYI, each of which recorded their own pieces. It features audio from all over the world and exhibits eclectic moments from London Underground commutes to cuckoo bird calls in Dhaka to the sounds of a century-old American diner.
Online communities like PI.FYI often represent a diverse set of people, places, and experiences, but together, the submissions form a living collage that highlights the commonalities of modern life - a unifying message for such a tumultuous time. The first track features all of the sounds played at once in an attempt to create an audio snapshot of an online community but in their offline lives.
The individual recordings are unedited except for minor gain and compression adjustments for consistency across the collection.
