I think that hardly any "silent" films were trully silent - most of them had a piano player in the theatre improvising to the images (he was often given a sheet of cues, like melodies that he should insert somewhere). The really big movie theatres had a full orchestra providing the score.
Yeah thanks indeed. I had to see this for my study but couldn't find them anywhere! It's hard to lay a hand on older and partuclar early movies/animations. Although I'm curious, the original animation: I believe it was a silent one, or not?
Those early German animations were quite something, weren't they? Thank you for uploading this. I think the soundtrack had good parts, such as the beginning of the last piece. Overall, I must confess that I wished for a more organic sound and for more melody and harmony throughout - I'm not really a huge fan of electronic music like this. Nothing against you in particular, I simply don't like the genre much. All the same, thanks for putting this up.
I'm very sorry, but I can't stand your soundtrack... But it's so great to see Walter Ruttmann's work on YouTube.

What kind of music will work as a soundtrack for you?

Walter Ruttmann was really a great artist, one of the first to make abstract.
