Usical Material or Wallpaper
(from late 1975e.v. to march 2004e.v.)
(in order of most recent to oldest)
These movies were created mainly to be used in what I call "concrete mixing" - ie: to be mixed together with other material of the same ilk - generally in live situations as a "light show" OR to create more Usical Material. They're basically meant to be acceptable in 'random' access playback & SILENT (if 'need' be). Not everything in this list is included in my Movieography anywhere else because not all of it "stands on its own" enough.
