Thanks, Mark, for this great list and the reminder of Hammer's Dyketactics.
I'd forgotten that wonderful soundtrack. I'm also reminded now of Ben van
Meter's own electronic soundtrack for S.F. Trips Festival - An Opening, and
for parts of Acid Mantra.

Re: [Frameworks] Electronic Soundtracks for Avant-Garde Films

2017-12-21 Thread Andy Ditzler

I think Reich's soundtrack for Watermelons is just piano and voices, though
I could be misremembering. A Reich tape collage piece forms the central
section of Robert Nelson's Plastic Haircut.

Also, Mick Jagger's Moog soundtrack for Kenneth Anger's Invocation of My
Demon Brother.

The original version of Gordon Matta-Clark's Office Baroque I believe had
an electronic soundtrack. This was later replaced by Richard Landry's
saxophone-based soundtrack, but if memory serves this had electronic
effects and looping as well.

I suppose the ascending sine wave tone in Wavelength would count!

Re: [Frameworks] Electronic Soundtracks for Avant-Garde Films

2017-12-21 Thread Stephen Broomer

Albert,

I believe Ian Hugo's films had electronic soundtracks that predate many of the 
examples discussed here. Louis and Bebe Barron (who, with Forbidden Planet, 
gave commercial cinema its first electronic score) composed the sound for Bells 
of Atlantis (1953) but many of his later films (ex. Levitation) had electronic 
scores by David Horowitz.

[Frameworks] Electronic Soundtracks for Avant-Garde Films

Hello all,



After asking about jazz
 and
 music an experimental film
, 
and feeling grateful for all the answers, I was wondering about the
connections between early electronic music and avant-garde film.
 
Recently I watched *OFFON* (1967-72) by Scott Bartlett with a “sound
composition” by Manny Meyer.


Again, there should be plenty of avant-garde films where the soundtrack is
instrumental electronic music or experimental
abstract 
sound created with magnetic tape recorders, synthesizers, electronic tools,
etc.



Maybe one question would be to define what is considered to be early
electronic music but anyway, lets try it.



Does anyone remember some other avant-garde films with
early 
electronic music
 from the 50's, 60's, 70's even 80's
?



Right now here’s the first list:



*Cybernetik 5.3* (1968) by John Stehura. Music: Tod Dockstader.



*Crystals* (1968) by Herbert Loebel. Music: Michael Lloyd.



*Rohfilm *(1968) by Birgit & Wilhelm Hein. Music: Christian Michaelis.
