Belson's spiral logo is printed on at head of film. However, William Moritz claims this is a collaborative work by James Whitney and Belson that was part of a sound and light show series in San Francisco in the late 1950s. According to Sheldon Renan, the series was called the Vortex concerts, and ran from 1957 to 1959 at the Morrison Planetarium. 500 This roll appears to be camera original. A videotape transfer of the film with the music track added (owned by William Moritz) runs at 01:52, perhaps because it was transferred at 18 fps. The music on Moritz' videotape is Haut voltage by Pierre Henry. 500 Jordan Belson states that the film is by James Whitney, and that he suggested the music for the film. 500 Running time at 24 fps: 01:26. 506 Pacific Film Archive collection; non-circulating.|5CUY. 520 The film consists of abstract optical printing work, painting directly on film, and what appears to be a small section of computer-generated "snow" or "bits." 590 PFA 1604-01-816.
