[Frameworks] Optical sound - Structural film

[Jorge Lorenzo Flores Garza]

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.

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.

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?
