Music in the Cartoon and Experimental Animated Film Response

For this assignment I chose the article “Music in the Cartoon and Experimental Animated Film” in the electronic music resources link.

The reason this article peak my interest It talks about how music was created and being used in animation films. George Antheil was the one who wrote for Hollywood films, and led a group of musicians in Paris in the 20s in an avant-grade musical movement, which their musical creation was called “musique concrete”. Soon then it manifested to what we called now “animated sound”. Using of this type of technique dates back in 1922 by a Canadian Filmmaker named Norman Mclaren. Then Russia took a crack in it making something new by using the frame-by-frame shooting continuously moving pattern by using cog patterns. The article was a little interesting showing how the background music or should I say, “music in the cartoon for cartoon shows began. Without Antheil leading a group of musicians there wouldn’t be background music for the animated film and with that kids wouldn’t get into it without the catchy songs during the animated film. I just to say thank god for George Antheil for leading that band of musicians for making their musical creation.
