This is from a painted interpretation of Kurt Schwitters' sound poem The Ursonate (written 1922-32.)
The paintings were made in 1993 by Jack Ox for each of the sounds used in the poem, then chopped up to fit in the visual time that the sound should take.

This link was sent to me by the amazing Jeff Benham (who is a contributor to my Snow Stories anthology.) His friend Kristen Loree has performed the sound poem while showing projections of the paintings.
(and yes, Andrei, I do remember your talking Yam Seal comic "For Kurt Schwitters".)
