- Die Musik des Erich Zann (original german title)
A stop motion movie based loosely based on H.P.Lovecraft's novel.
Creepy and with a lot of atmosphere made by Anna Gawrilow at www.trickfilmnoir.de
I do not make any money of this. Anna Gawrilow holds all the rights to this.

I like how Anna Gawrilow made the protagonist look similar to H.P. Lovecraft, and made Erich Zann a pianist instead of a cellist. I have read the original story at least 3 times over the years and I always enjoyed it.
loved the music played by erich zann... much better than any other attempt i heard on youtube so far.
It reminds me of some of the early Silent German Expressionist films
'The Cabinet Of Dr Caligari' 'Nosferatu'
You can see the influence.
Eine sehr gute Arbeit,die Stimmung von Lovecraft´s Geschichten is genial eingefangen !!!
Great work!
this is really well done...
I mainly missed the original theme. Erich Zann played at the brink of the unreal. The idea was that he kept the madness of the infinite at bay with his music.
Was alright though.
Many approach Lovecraft’s work the wrong way. Even many of his heroes try to rationalize but are confronted with situations unreasonable for Earth - so to say - standards. Lovecraft features no Boogie Men, the Arch Enemy in his works is Madness, the clash of limited human rational capacity against the Transcendental. And this is the battle that Zann lost and the student deserted. Whether Zann played violin, viol or cello - in fact it must have been viola - is irrelevant. Friendly greetings!
lmaoo the first encounter o the stairs s hlarious!! great job this is awesome
fantastic work.5 stars.
@shivabel IT WAS A VIOLA! A VIOLA! SOMETHING COPLETELY DIFFERENT!
best adaption ever!
@W4RW017 said: "Hm, would've been nice if the playing of Zann was used with modern electronic equipment in order to properly display what Zann actually played. When I read the short story I got the impression that whatever Zann played on his violin (piano, in this version) it was not from this world. Or well, sounds "not from this world" as it was pictured 1921."
The answer is: Jonny Greenwood - Bodysong
(listen to the whole composition, for me, Erich Zann's music begins with 1:53 there)
Me, too. I think in the book he's just in despair because of the powers he had contact with.
He also was violin player not a piano player.
Still cool I'd say :)
@VmonX I think Eric's music acctually kept them away from intruding into this world, or at least that's what I thought after reading the short story...
I don't understand this hole thing of varieté music... and the poster killing him. Would someone explain tome please?
You guys and your high expectations. :) Why is that so? It's just a small movie by a single person.
Save your high expectations for the day Guillermo del Toro finally shows us his Mountains of Madness.
I almost crapped my pants at 2:33 , holy shit that was creepy
was it Trunembra the Angel of Music?
I don't see many differences, too. And I read the original story. But maybe I just don't remember right =_=
Did you read the original story by Lovecraft? It leaves a lot unanswered, too.
You can also try asking the artist, Anna Gawrilow, herself at her account: youtubeDOTcom/user/trickfilmnoir.
Sry that I couldn't help you out ;)
Lovecraft, excelente trabajo:))
As I remember it was the violin.
I am not sure of the artist's true reasoning behind this short film, whether it'd be her perception of the story itself or something similar. I enjoy the stop motion that gives it that dark eerie felling. How ever the story itself was of the mans first person narration of the events that took place at the Rue d' Auseil. The older man was also more paranoid and frightened then grumpy in the book and played a viol, not a piano (or violin for that matter, Its more like a cello) And the ending was..
Okay, it's not by a single person but still a small team.
@ghostmaster24 It said viol, not viola.
veeeeery loosely based....
the end shows its telling a complete different story
It was not a violin. He was an old German "viol" player - most likely a viola (that being the first string instrument. Although playing in a theater orchestra it would not be a viol...so probably was a viola!
I think I remember the old man to have been more friendly?
Like F W Murnau by way of Nick Park ;)
Siento como si esta historia de Lovecraft estuviera siendo contada por Poe.
I don't understand about Erich's death: it's not suppose Erich get "possesed" by the "entities" because his music summon'em?
Nevertheless, it's a excellent animation and good history, I like it! :D
das guten. Gross guten, ja.
He died because he was hit by paper? What a woos.
There's a HPL film fest oO?!
Nice video, though if you'll allow me to nerd out, it was actually a Rennaissance viol (a.k.a. a cello) that Erich Zann played in Lovecraft's story. He later confirmed it by referring to Zann as a "cellist." Hoo boy that felt good!
Zann got killed by a poster
Erich Zann was a violinist, not a pianist. A mistake on the animation
A viol is not a cello....a violi is kind of a baroque instrument, it's the short name for "viola da gamba"
Smove? What does that mean?
Also: it's a pity that you don't like it.
it's one of those 3rd grade lame ass jokes where you rime stuff just to make fun of people, ignore it this is really well done
It's okay to not like it. But how often did you encounter a book based movie that is better than the original? So please don't compare in such a simple way, it really rarely helps anyone.
A good comparison would be if you told what you miss in the movie.
