Truly outstanding film from the golden age of tape, a time when experimenting with music was not out of bounds. I've no idea how they teach music in schools today or if they even bother. In theory, to exploit this generation's obsession with technology, now should be a great time for exploring computer-based sound. I suspect, however, that it would be based on trying to make a hip-hop rhythm rather than looking to Stockhausen for inspiration. That would be a great shame. I'm not advocating a rigorous study of composition but the potential for play inherent in technology is obvious, as this film proves. Watch it and marvel...
