In general films are strange with the sound turned down, they are like lonely mutes. In particular, Dracula fitted really well with this mood, what with the grainy monotone picture and the sad characters. <BR/><BR/>The other option was "Wizard of Oz" set to Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon."

One was Mirror with a suitably atmospheric, and at times eerie and all over the place live accompaniment from Greg Malcolm and the other a bunch of short animated films to the music of Surfing USSR. The way that images and sounds came together was quite wonderful.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01931148046937718412noreply@blogger.com
