SUMMARY:Essential Visual Music: Rare Classics
DESCRIPTION:SEPTEMBER 1 at Pacific Film Archive, Berkeley, CA.\nEssent
 ial Visual Music: Rare Classics\nfrom Center for Visual Music’s arch
 ives\n\nThis evening features a range of work, from 1920s German film 
 experiments to light show psychedelia, highlighting the evolving techn
 ology and artistic sophistication of visual music and experimental ani
 mation. The program includes films from the tradition of “color orga
 n” experimentation, and films designed to be used in performance con
 texts, light shows, and other forms of expanded cinema, often with ind
 ependent musical accompaniment. Accordingly, one of the themes that em
 erge from this program is a dialogue between structure and spontaneity
  in visual music. Many of the prints in this show represent recent pre
 servation work by CVM.\n\nIncludes: R-1 ein Formspiel (Oskar Fischinge
