Description
Summary:"Composer, photographer and filmmaker Phill Niblock's classic of experimental underground filmmaking with a ... soundtrack by pianist Sun Ra and the members of his Solar Arkestra. Shot in the mid 60's when the Arkestra was based in New York, this film was produced using a unique negative process and ultra-tight close-ups on the moving hands and mouths of the musicians. The result is a virtually abstract music film."--Container.
