Surprise boogie

What would big band jazz music look like? How would what we hear – the swing, the rhythm, the ups and downs – be translated into images? Surprise Boogie is visual music. How would you paint, draw or maybe clay your favourite piece of music?

Albert Pierru’s film “Surprise boogie” is an extraordinary film. It was made without a camera! By scratching directly on the filmstrip the maker creates abstract and figurative images that seem to dance to the rousing jazz music.
