       Lichtspiel Opus 1.74 is my second Dada experiment, following “euqinacèM”, which I published a few months ago. The video is Walther Ruttmann’s “Lichtspiel Opus 1”, which has been sped up to match my track “Seventy-Four”.Ruttman’s first Opus was created between 1919 and 1921, and is the “oldest fully abstract motion picture known to survive, using only animated geometric forms, arranged and shown without reference to any representational imagery” (M. Betancourt, “Walther Ruttmann’s Lichtspiel Films”. Cinegraphic. Cited by Wikipedia). The geometrical shapes in Léger and Murphy’s “Ballet Mécanique” clearly owe to Ruttman’s. For a strange kind of serendipitous magical audiovisual xenochrony, both videos appear to be in sync with my tracks, despite the fact that the decision to use them as soundtracks came to me long after I had composed them. In sooth, magic does exist!So here’s to you my Klang- und Lichtspiel. I hope you’ll like it!“Seventy-Four” is on bandcamp. As its sister, “euqinacèM”, it is part of my album “Ballet Mécanique.Follow my Dada xenochronical adventures via https://eidon.bandcamp.com/follow_me.
