[Frameworks] Lis Rhodes? Dynamo Dresden fan? + synch?

[John Muse]

Thanks, Nicky!  I would love to know a little more about "no particular reason."  It could be the alliteration.  It could be the ridiculousness of these two words.  I could be something about power and the bombing of Dresden.  Or a nod to Lye whose titles, e.g., Free Radicals, are evocative and pithy.  Yes, I'm reaching!  

Thanks for confirming my thoughts about the synch!

They have offices in LeMans: www.letraset.com. The film was made section by section under an enlarger, from B&W originals printed through colour filters and yes, obviously the sound would be finally printed 26 frames ahead, to put it in sync.

If you go to http://www.tate.org.uk/whats-on/tate-modern-tanks/display/lis-rhodes-light-music and scroll down to the video, you'll see at 51" prints of the film strip.  Right?  Wrong?
