LIFE'S MUSICAL MINUTE

by Len LYE
1953 / 16mm / color / sound / 1S / 1' 50

“A direct animation film in the style of COLOR CRY, based on a drum solo by Gene Krupa. Len Lye made LIFE'S MUSICAL MINUTE in the hope to persuade the Life magazine to finance similar films as corporate advertising.”
— Len Lye, edited by Jean-Michel Bouhours and Roger Horrocks.

Soundtrack music is Golden Wedding by Woody Herman. The drummer on this track is Frank Carlson.
