A painter originally, he turned to cinema in the 1920s and produced a body of work centred on visual music, <br>His work on sound graphics culminated in an eight-minute film, <em>T\u00f6nende Ornament<\/em> \u2013 <em>Ornament Sound<\/em> \u2013\u00a0 in 1932, in which he attempts to formalise scientifically the use of optical sound, thereby freeing himself from any pre-existing musical model. It is at this point that the great difference arises between Pfenninger\u2019s approach and Fischinger\u2019s, where the latter concentrates on the idea of modelling sound for synaesthetic purposes whereas Pfenninger works, for his part, at reproducing music to accompany the adventures of animated characters. <br>By declaring that he was making a music of light \u2013 Lichtmusik \u2013 in Ornement Sound, Oskar Fischinger\u00a0 manages to model a multitude of sound elements and parameters that he also calls stereoscopic sounds. To cover the range of possibilities offered by optical synthesis, Fischinger has to produce numerous conversion tables in order to determine the waveforms capable of producing distinct timbres, predetermined rhythms and controlled dynamics. He thus attempts to define scientifically the exact relationship that links the graphics on the optical track with the theoretical foundations of musical solf\u00e8ge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video height=\"576\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 768 \/ 576;\" width=\"768\" controls src=\"https:\/\/philippelanglois.net\/lcd\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/11-Oskar-Fischinger_-Ornemental-Sound.mov\"><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">See Philippe Langlois\u2019s article on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.olats.org\/pionniers\/pp\/fischinger\/fischinger.php\">OSKAR FISCHINGER <\/a>on the website <em>Pionniers et pr\u00e9curseurs<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Film pionnier de la synth\u00e8se optique<\/p>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41,3,53,57,7,6,71],"tags":[19,30,112,135,12,29],"class_list":["post-1062","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-auditorium","category-featured","category-extrait-video","category-fiche-film","category-les-cloche-datlantis","category-musee-du-son","category-synesthesie","tag-experimentations-sonores","tag-film-experimental","tag-inedit","tag-pionniers-et-precurseurs","tag-synesthesie","tag-synthese-optique"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/philippelanglois.net\/lcd\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1062","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/philippelanglois.net\/lcd\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/philippelanglois.net\/lcd\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/philippelanglois.net\/lcd\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/philippelanglois.net\/lcd\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1062"}],"version-history":[{"count":11,"href":"https:\/\/philippelanglois.net\/lcd\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1062\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2386,"href":"https:\/\/philippelanglois.net\/lcd\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1062\/revisions\/2386"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/philippelanglois.net\/lcd\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1062"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/philippelanglois.net\/lcd\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1062"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/philippelanglois.net\/lcd\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1062"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
