Subject: [Frameworks] Optical sound – Structural film


Hello,


Does anybody know structural or structural-materialist or minimal/abstract 
films from the sixties or seventies where the sound of the film comes directly 
from the graphic treatment on the optical sound area of the celluloid?


Kurt Kren drew a line with ink in his film Trees of Autumn (1960) and Guy 
Sherwin shot pictures on the variable area of the soundtrack. Those films were 
collected on the Optical Sound Films (1971-2007) DVD.


I thought the soundtrack of Roh Film (1968) by Birgit  Wilhelm Hein was done 
directly from the collage materials attached on the surface of the emulsion but 
it is not. It was done afterwards, as an autonomous noise piece by Christian 
Michelis. 


I'm thinking about films like Dynamo Dresden (1971) by Lis Rhodes or Soundtrack 
(1969) by Barry Spinello, but they are more abstract animation pieces following 
the visual music tradition than the structural or systemic patterns.


Any suggestion will be appreciated.


Thank you very much,


Albert Alcoz

Thank you all very much for those answers, especially Pip Chodorov for 
suggesting that awesome film by Steve Farrer.
There's a PhD dissertation by Michel Puetz named Variable Area: Hearing and 
Seeing Sound where she analyses some of this issues with films like those 
created by Robert Russett:PRESERVATION INSANITY: Neuron (1972) by Robert Russett

Synchromy by Norman McLaren is a great example.  He photographed printed cards 
that went both on the sound space and the visual space of the film.  And check 
out all the series of tests he made for similar experiments.  You can find them 
in the DVD box set of his work.

For more recent work:
-Apollo by Tom Nishikawa is great.  He shoots high-contrast pictures on 16mm by 
using a 35mm camera to cover the whole 16mm strip with images.  He has some 
other pinhole films that work on a similar dynamic.

-TB TX Dance by Roger Bebee is also a great piece that ironically synchs visual 
sound with image.

I’m really interested on that topic also, but I’m sure that you know more films 
than me. Lately I found this, but you probably know all these films…

http://otherfilm.org/optical-sound/ http://otherfilm.org/optical-sound/

A couple of weeks ago I spend one afternoon looking for optical sound films at 
vimeo and I found several interesting pieces, but most of them are from the 
80s, 90s or even more recent.

Norman McLaren made several films by animating directly onto the optical track.
There is even a short documentary of him doing this in the film called Pen 
Point Percussion where they film him working on a film called Dots
You can view his work online on the National Film Board website: 
https://www.nfb.ca/explore-all-directors/Norman-McLaren/

Is there a reason that you're keeping it to the 60s and 70s?

I can think of other artists, such Richard Reeves, as well as myself, who have 
done work directly on optical tracks in the last 20 years.

Re: [Frameworks] Optical sound – Structural film

Though earlier than your time period, Oskar Fischinger's Ornament Sound
experiments (c. 1932). On CVM's VOD channel on Vimeo:

More recently, possibly some of Devon Damonte's work, though it's not 60s
or 70s.

 Subject: [Frameworks] Optical sound – Structural film
 Hello,

 Does anybody know structural or structural-materialist or minimal/abstract
 films from the sixties or seventies where the sound of the film comes
 directly from the graphic treatment on the optical sound area of the
 celluloid?

 Kurt Kren drew a line with ink in his film *Trees of Autumn* (1960) and
 Guy Sherwin shot pictures on the variable area of the soundtrack. Those
 films were collected on the *Optical Sound Films *(1971-2007) DVD.

 I thought the soundtrack of *Roh Film* (1968) by Birgit  Wilhelm Hein
 was done directly from the collage materials attached on the surface of the
 emulsion but it is not. It was done afterwards, as an autonomous noise
 piece by Christian Michelis.

 I'm thinking about films like *Dynamo Dresden* (1971) by Lis Rhodes or
 *Soundtrack* (1969) by Barry Spinello, but they are more abstract
 animation pieces following the visual music tradition than the structural
 or systemic patterns.

 Any suggestion will be appreciated.

 Thank you very much,

 Albert Alcoz
