The length of this tape allows an extensive visual description of contents. There is a surface with bubbling water, white stripes which pulsate in the horizontal plane, yellow beams which move in a vertical direction, brown shapes with wriggling threads. The reader with a grounding in the history of art will now know in which direction he should be thinking: the abstract film that presents a fundamental investigation into [equ] rhythm [equ] and [equ] direction [equ] and [equ] depth [equ] and [equ] colour. Hans Richter is a well known name in this field. The tape seems to have been cloned from his work. It is a visual poem without words. The shapes that flash by apparently by chance are nonetheless carefully composed to the pulses of electronic music. The medium used also provides an added advantage. Film remains after all dependant on an external light source, an unsportsmanlike 'Dritte im Bunde'. The electronic video image and the acoustic pixels in 'Ode 1: 23: 06' melt together in a profound dance to a set of bleeping Siamese twins.
