This evening features a range of work, from 1920s German film experiments to light-show psychedelia, highlighting the evolving technology and artistic sophistication of visual music and experimental animation. The program includes films from the tradition of “color organ” experimentation, as well as films designed to be used in performance contexts and other forms of expanded cinema, often with independent musical accompaniment. Accordingly, one of the themes that emerges from this program is a dialogue between structure and spontaneity in visual music. Many of the prints represent recent preservation work by the Center for Visual Music.
