[Frameworks] Optical sound – Structural film

[C Keefer]

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.

> 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,
