Norman Mclaren was an experimental film maker from Scotland, who moved to Canada and there created some of the most beautiful animations to music, using techniques such as simply scratching and painting directly onto film. (We digital kids have got it real easy!!!)

Here is one of his most well known works, “Begone Dull Care” from 1941 which animates the music of the great Oscar Peterson….I remember being blown away by these when I watched them while researching syneasthesia at university. just found it again online.

Enjoy.
