Usical Material or Wallpaper
(from late 1975e.v. to march 2022e.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.
"Light Show (of sorts) 2" & "Light Show (of sorts) 9" are included to show what's produced when Usical Material is combined in a perfomrative situation.
March 13, 2018 addendum: I've added 3 new things since "Titin" but I've taken off many other things that I no longer think qualify.
