Summary:

Oscar Fischinger was the unique master of a highly graphic and pristine abstract cinema form and this film illustrates quite clearly the essential parallel thought that drove Fischinger’s work from the beginning: the specific alligning of sound and image. Fischinger actually strove to make films which were completely fused to music and his images visualized the music in a painstakingly literal manner.
