About

My name is Sabela Cal and this is an archive of videos I like. 

It started out on Tumblr in 2010 (where it still lives) and then moved to this site.  There are more than 4,000 entries.

Music runs through most of it (electronic, classical, early, folk, jazz, Brazilian), alongside contemporary dance, animation, film, visual art, and occasional glimpses of the natural world. Everything is here because I found it and it stayed with me.

There is no commentary. I prefer to let things speak for themselves.

Please feel free to browse the archives or explore by tag.

The name “Days of disorder” comes from a passage of Don DeLillo´s novel Underworld:

I long for the days of disorder. I want them back, the days when I was alive on the earth, rippling in the quick of my skin, heedless and real. I was dumb-muscled and angry and real. This is what I long for, the breach of peace, the days of disarray when I walked real streets and did things slap-bang and felt angry and ready all the time, a danger to others and a distant mystery to myself.

If you want to get in touch, you can send me an email.

P.S. Many of the older entries link to Vimeo, where much of this was first found. That world (its communities, its spirit of sharing) has largely disappeared. This archive is, among other things, a record of it.
