Impressions des Andes then seems to pay direct homage to the master of \u201cDirect Film\u201d and to the two films by Len Lye that inaugurate these techniques: Color Box (1935) and Free Radical (1936).  <br>To the rapidity of Vic Towas\u2019s images and the velocity of the motifs that run across the screen, Edgardo Canton opts for a contrasting musical response, composing a richly noisy musical texture that evolves slowly throughout the film.<\/p>\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" frameborder=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\"  scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/fresques.ina.fr\/artsonores\/export\/player\/InaGrm00817\/wide?isAmalia=1\" width=\"620\" height=\"465\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">This information notice was co-produced with INA\/GRM for the creation of the multimedia fresco \u2013 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ina.fr\/fresques\/artsonores\/accueil\">Artsonores \u2013 L\u2019aventure \u00e9lectroacoustique<\/a>, in the category Films produced by the Service de la Recherche de l\u2019ORTF from 1950 to 1975.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Film directement peint sur la pellicule, sur une musique de Edgardo Canton<\/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],"tags":[11,27,28,16,24],"class_list":["post-980","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","tag-cinema-danimation","tag-grm","tag-musique-concrete","tag-musique-de-film","tag-service-de-la-recherche"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/philippelanglois.net\/lcd\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/980","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=980"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/philippelanglois.net\/lcd\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/980\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2427,"href":"https:\/\/philippelanglois.net\/lcd\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/980\/revisions\/2427"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/philippelanglois.net\/lcd\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=980"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/philippelanglois.net\/lcd\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=980"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/philippelanglois.net\/lcd\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=980"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
