Summary
Innovative and influential musicians Tom Verlaine and Jimmy Rip team up to reawaken the spirit of the avant-garde. To films drawn from the collection assembled by Raymond Rohauer, Verlaine and Rip perform newly composed musical scores. There is a wide variation of tempos and style in both films and music, with some pieces ambient in tone, while others are quick-paced, abstract, serene, or intense. Surprisingly modern, these experimental art films from the 1920s and their new soundtracks make for an entertaining voyage into the cinematic past.
