There is something mesmerisingly artistic about this cleverly crafted animation. There’s a creative oscillographer (Chester Beachill) credited as it opens and it’s clear to see his scientific influences on Norman McLaren and Evelyn Lambart as the wobbling graphs and pulsations that sometimes symmetrically and sometimes quirkily just off-centre writhe and squiggle for ten colourful minutes to a lively score. It has three-dimensional elements to it and epitomises well the visionary film making techniques of this Scots-Canadian duo as they mix colours and shapes to create an effect that suggests the images are actually dancing on the screen for us. It’s short but sweet and well worth a gander.
