The objective is to show myself visiting myself, and then showing the frustration of loneliness, by trying to be with myself. –Al Wong

Sequel to "The Birth of Electronic Music: Part I" (1971) The 2nd installment covers the slightly more modern era.

This installment covers "electronic" music from 400 BC to 1950, including analog techniques such as the "soundhouses" of the 17th century to the glass harmonica, before finally moving along to early electronic instruments such as the Dynamophone and the Ondes Martenot.

In this vintage promotional video from the early 1970s, witness how John Morton in the Brock Racing Enterprises Datsun 510 takes on (and defeats) all the European challengers in the drama-filled SCCA Under 2.5-liter Trans-Am championship. This is a charming look into a seminal chapter of Nissan's (Datsun's) motorsports history.

Werner von Mutzenbecher created Rom 70/71 with an Agfa Microflex super-8 camera, during a residency at the Istituto Svizzero (Swiss Institute) in Rome, from autumn 1970 to spring 1971. As he wanders the city streets in the afternoons, the artist captures, without any preconceived intentions, urbans details, or micro-events that draw his attention. Mutzenbecher describes Rom 70/71 as "reflex cinema" and develops a spontaneous form of filmed diary about a location, in this case a city, without focusing on human presence.

One frame of film for each page: the history of human knowledge becomes an illegible, strobing stream of images.
