Doesn't dubbing traditional music over this defeat the entire purpose? What the fuck?

[MadMusicologist1]

Why not with the original music from George Antheil? This is a boring sound track to a brilliant cinematographoc experiment. :(

@MadMusicologist1

[WhatThaFlup]

this is a beautiful film. I would call it 1 of like, 10 authentic works in existence.

[stanclarke29]

You have to watch the whole CD to appreciate the effort that Tom Verlaine & Jimmy Rip have put into this ouvrage............

Back at art college .... ha!

[chasespivey]

this music is alright, but not correct for the film. Where is the Antheil soundtrack?

[ecrown88]

@chasespivey seconded

[jaywhofan]

Thanks for this. I just got a book of 100 must see silent films and this is on it. Pretty cool! I'm not really sure what I just saw, but it was very cool. lol

[alejandrolopezcinca]

[takizawayu]

Who plays this guitar?

[searchinmymainline]

@takizawayu Tom Verlaine... I think?

[takizawayu]

@searchinmymainline　thank you, fantastic sound!

[searchinmymainline]

@takizawayu No problem! If you haven't already you should check out Verlaine's work with Television, especially "Marquee Moon"; it's wonderful. :)

[AlainWinthrope]

I'd recommend watching it silent or running this soundtrack in the background

Ballet mécanique is a 1924 experimental film directed by Fernand Léger and Dudley Murphy with cinematography by Man Ray, music by George Antheil, and starring Alice Prin. The film was premiered by Frederick Kiesler in Vienna on 24 September 1924, and runs approximately 16 minutes. The original version of Antheil's music ran almost 30 minutes, and a married print of film and music was not made until 2000 by sound engineer and composer Paul Lehrman.

very very cool!

[joemanasse]

n'a rien á voir avec l'esprit original... tournez vos propres trucs, les mecs, au lieu de recycler en faisant n'importe quoi.... y a une musique qui a été écrite pour le Ballet Mécanique, alors pourquoi la zapper et la remplacer par ce machin pseudo-cool...?

allez salut maintenant
