One of the few people outside of the former Soviet Union to master the art of graphical sound.

Wow, can you tell me about that of the Soviet Union? Sounds fascinating, and I don't have information about this graphical sound there.

This guy was fantastic! Making animation by painting it directly on the film. No paper. No cells. No computers or CGIs. Why can't we find any of his short films here in America on DVD? If they can put Stan Brakhage's stuff on the Criterion Collection, there's got to be a place for Norman McLaren.

Check out the similar short movies of the New Zealander Len Lye. He started making them in the 30s. They are all restored and archived.

As much as I love the work of McLaren, we should know that he didn't invented this technique. Composers like *Arseny Mikhailovich Avraamov* (probably best known for his “Simfoniya Gudkov” or “Symphony of Sirens” November 7, 1922) and mostly *Daphne Oram* , one of the first British composers to produce electronic sound, was the creator of the Oramics technique for creating electronic sounds using drawn sound in the late 50s. Take a look to the Oramics, it's an exceptional multiple 35mm multictracks optic / audio synthesizer. Absolutely mind blowing.

You assume that nobody in the entire world is doing something "original" yet you fail to see that originality is just a form of innovation. Everything comes from somewhere. This guy didn't invent film, cameras, pens or ink, he's using other people's work to develop his own. Originality comes out of inspiration, inspiration comes from influences, those influences were influenced by something 'original' that came prior, etc etc. The cycle of influence and innovation oroboros, the snake eating it's own tail.

Those noises Norman McLaren created sound a bit rude to say the least. the sound-line at 1:40 I can remember from the opening narration in the move 'Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!
