Abstronic

A pioneer of visual music and electronic art, Mary Ellen Bute produced over a dozen short abstract animations between the 1930s and the 1950s. Set to classical music by the likes of Bach, Saint-Saëns, and Shoshtakovich, and replete with rapidly mutating geometries, Bute’s filmmaking is at once formally rigorous and energetically high-spirited, like a marriage of high modernism and Merrie Melodies. In the late 1940s, Lewis Jacobs observed that Bute’s films were “composed upon mathematical formulae depicting in ever-changing lights and shadows, growing lines and forms, deepening colors and tones, the tumbling, racing impressions evoked by the musical accompaniment.” Bute herself wrote that she sought to “bring to the eyes a combination of visual forms unfolding along with the thematic development and rhythmic cadences of music.”

Escape (Synchronomy No. 4)

To the toccata portion of Bach's "Toccata and fugue in D minor," we watch a play of sorts. Blue smoke forms a background; a grid of black lines is the foreground. Behind the lines, a triangle appears, then patterns of multiple triangles. Their movements reflect the music's rhythm. Behind the barrier of the black lines, the triangle moves, jumps, and takes on multiple shapes. In contrast with the blue and the black, the triangles are warm: orange, red, yellow. The black lines bend, swirl into a vortex, then disappear. The triangle pulsates and a set of many of them rises.

Around the World for Free

Banana has found a free flight to London on the internet... Free! That's the magic word of the 21st century! But to the leader of the gang, Bildotso, it will seem like nothing. If he wanted to, he would even go to China for free. What's more, he would even travel around the world for free in 80 days. It would have been even more arrogant if Kebab hadn't made a bet. And once the bet was made... he had to take the whole gang with him and go on a trip: one wanted to take a romantic trip, the other an erotic one, but they ended up with a comic-dramatic-sperm... I could tell you who would win the bet... but it's not what you think... it's not what you think, but Bildotso himself will explain it better... In the movies, of course.
