The process that he went through to create this piece is astounding. Literally, what you're seeing is what you're hearing, he had to create every sound from scratch. And f*cking somehow, it worked. It's phenomenal, it's never really been replicated again in animation history. He is a genius beyond his time in terms of understanding the synthesis between sound and visuals.
@@edo_moya This film taking advantage of a filmmaking technique called optical sound. The sound for films of the period was often 'encoded' as an analogue waveform just out of frame. A sensor would be scanning this waveform as the film passed it during projection and translating it into the corresponding audio for the speakers to play. You might be familiar with optical sound without knowing it - when you watch an old film print, you'll often see visual noise (specks and lines) on the image, but also hear pops and crackles. These are caused by exactly the same problem, dust on the film, but the dust on the optical sound track is being interpreted as sound. Rather than record audio with a microphone, which the camera would then expose onto the film as a waveform, here the optical track has been exposed directly with the same abstract shapes you're looking at. It's a bit like placing specifically sized bits of dust on the sound track on purpose.
These cold geometric shapes compliment the electronic sounding music. Compare this to Phantasy Of Colors, with it's organic and chaotic lines complementing the lively piano playing.
Early sound cards generated several wave shapes, with square waves being the most common. This was made by photographing square and line waves on cards over a film audio track, then playing the sound to be mixed.
I'm in a motion graphics class and we only just finished a biographical project on McLaren, and we used the first minute and a half of this song to do it. It was so much fun getting our shapes to scale up and down in After Effects with expressions, haha!
There is nothing new under the sun, we used it in the śixties as background projection by pop concerts. We got the film for rent by the Canadian Embassy. It works than and it works now for sure.

His predcessor was Nikolai Voinov doing alike but with paper in 1930s: ruclips.net/video/Z7Zb4rso82M/видео.html
Norman Mclarens works r always inspiring
Anytime I watch this, it makes me say "God I really miss my old Nintendo Game Boy a lot."
Yes. This is practically the birth of the chiptune. :3
This sounds so much like something you'd hear in a video game for the NES or Game Boy! I love it! 😁💙
I found this really soothing to watch; thanks for uploading it!
I love it! Thanks a lot for the upload :-)

+Micah Buzan The shapes are actually the soundtrack itself! Hence the title.
dan browne was this made like how Rythmetic was?

I. LOVE. THIS.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I love it.
Could almost pass off as an Atari 2600 demoscene demo haha.

Hey I know it’s been years but I just came across your comment and was curious. How’d the rest of your class go, and how did your studies go?
Fucking Genius of the highest order, pooped my pantaloons.
THIS... Is how 8 bit music/sound was invented.
This would fit on the SNES, because the NES would not have enough sound channels and storage to emulate this song.
This has reverb! How was this done?

Esto es cine 🚬
should be played in all the fckn disco and lounge pub
