Abstract animation illustrates Edwin Gerschefski's modernist composition. Two dots - one blue and one orange - appear most often, sometimes large, sometimes small, sometimes overlapping. When the sounds become more staccato, so do the images: wavy lines become squiggles, short nail-like lines go across the screen in rows. The result is a visual representation of abstract music, lively and spirited in spite of its link to a dance composed to sweat out the poisons of a spider bite.
I really enjoy what is called "avant garde" cinema. It seems that much of what cinema was for much of its earlier years (and by that I mean the first five or six decades) was largely just a stage show captured for film. And that is not a bad thing, but really doesn't allow film to become its own medium -- the camera must be used in new ways to make us see what we could not with just watching a play.
This short, although animation, does that to some extent, in making us see sounds and hear colors. And we are given a mental image -- this music is to help us shake off the bite of a tarantula! We never really see the dance or the tarantula, but are left to envision it for ourselves.
