Harry Smith: Early Abstractions

'Early Abstractions' is a collection of seven short animated films created by Harry Smith between 1939 and 1956. They were recorded with no sound. Smith was an extraordinary figure - an American polymath, who was credited variously as an artist, experimental filmmaker, bohemian, mystic, record collector, hoarder, student of anthropology and a Neo-Gnostic bishop. 'The Anthology of American Folk Music’ is perhaps his most famous contribution. the most important American mixtape ever made.’ (Pitchfork)‘Make no mistake – there was no ‘folk’ canon before Smith’s work.’ In collaboration with the Harry Smith Archives I will be performing live soundtracks to screenings of his original prints of his films. Please get in touch if you are interested in one of these shows taking place! The soundtrack here was created entirely live for this excerpt taken from his early animated films
