Tönendes ABC
László Moholy-Nagy
Germany
Animation and Musique concrète
Patterns, profiles, letters – the photocell of the film projector translates Moholy-Nagy’s “handwriting in sound” on the optical soundtrack of the film into electronic sounds.

Matmos: Ultimate Care II Excerpt Five
Vicki Bennett
USA
Animation and Musique concrète
A washing machine less ordinary: In a lively music video with animation and advertising film quotes, the sounds of a fully automatic machine enchant us and make us forget all our laundry worries.

Neighbours

Media Name: 990651c9-ea29-49d0-9601-b9f50e92401b.jpg
Voisins
Norman McLaren
Canada
Animation and Musique concrète
A neighbourhood dispute escalates … The pixilated movements of actors and scenery seem more and more absurd, heightened by the frantic sounds of the hand-drawn soundtrack.

Whistle Stop

Media Name: fd687421-ce9f-4f01-9f3c-809bd2522279.jpg
Whistle Stop
Martin Arnold
Austria
Animation and Musique concrète
Daffy Duck is caught in an animation loop. His beak wiggles, his wing hands flutter in the black void. An artistic and psychological study.

Stripsody

Stripsody
Antoine Léonard
France
Animation and Musique concrète
“Stripsody” is based on a score of onomatopoetic elements and cartoon language quotes. The solo voice swings on a liana: past the “achoo” to the “boinnnggg”.

A Man and His Dog Out for Air

Media Name: 67a0f490-1499-4b4b-b560-d6a51999e3f0.jpg
A Man and His Dog Out for Air
Robert Breer
USA
Animation and Musique concrète
Birdsong and meandering lines, sometimes solo, sometimes as a swarm movement. A park landscape, a staircase, and a man with a dog emerge fleetingly from the permanently changing forms.

Joe Gerhardt, Ruth Jarman

Earthworks – Installation
Joe Gerhardt, Ruth Jarman
UK,
Spain
Animation and Musique concrète
A huge, luminous band of morphing layers of colours and strange sounds captivate the eyes and ears. An installation impressively brings geological history to life.

Floralia III

Media Name: bf39c939-d53e-4503-ad32-6ed730d492b8.jpg
Floralia III
Sabrina Ratté
Canada
Animation and Musique concrète
A piece of soil with plants displayed in a cabinet – three-dimensional and yet only a digital image. Forest sounds awaken leaves and blossoms; an organic rebellion flares up.

Jessica In
UK
Animation and Musique concrète
A rhythm fragment becomes a percussion ensemble without a single identical loop. Tiles proliferate into patterns that are never quite the same. Infinity in animated beats.
