The official video for Boards of Canada's Dayvan Cowboy, built from reassembled documentary footage. It forms a dreamlike journey from space to the sea and shore, including Kittinger's 1960 high-altitude jump and surfing footage.
HN mentions it as a favorite ambient track and as a nicely edited tribute to Kittinger's jump.
“you can watch nicely edited footage of Kittinger's 1960 record of 100,000 feet”
