CatSynth Video: Chat ̩coutant la musique РChris Marker
A CatSynth video from the great Chris Marker
Marker’s cat naps peacefully atop a Yamaha DX7 synthesizer. From his collection Bestiaire aka Petit Bestiaire (1990), consisting of three ‘video haikus’:
- Chat écoutant la
musique — 2:47 min, color, sound (http://youtu.be/MrEHvDdEPrI) - An Owl is an Owl is an Owl — 3:18 min, color, sound (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_j4H…)
- Zoo Piece — 2:42 min, color, sound (http://youtu.be/v8ZIfU4XGeU)
We at CatSynth love Chris Marker’s film Sans Soleil. It made an indelible mark on my thoughts about film and even inspired me to go find and visit the shrine dedicate to cats outside Tokyo that he featured. You can read about that adventure here.
