“Presentation by Chris Hunter: Early sound recording device 1922 – one of earliest attempts to record sound on film. The Pallophotophone recorded wave forms of sound using light which bounced off a small mirror, exposing 35 mm film.”

“The earliest extant sound film. William K.L. Dickson stands in the background next to a huge sound pickup horn connected to a Thomas Edison phonograph recorder. As he plays a violin, two men dance in the foreground. This film was made to demonstrate a new Thomas Edison machine, the Kinetophone.”

“Peter Greenaway, director, filmmaker and composer talking about the relationship of music, sound, image, film, and cinema; films without sound, silent films, the slavery of music and the perfect symbiosis between creator, director, filmmaker, musician, and composer.”
