Stan Brakhage's The Dante Quartet

A series of abstract paintings (I forget the exact name of the style, but it's just throwing paint on a screen basically) in very quick succession. The title is interesting because it looks like some sort of visual component to a real music piece, in the way that some parts are slow and some are faster. Some are peaceful, some are chaotic. Some are filled with light colors and others dark.

It also kind of reminds me of the opening to the film Dancer in the Dark, only quicker and less structure in the paintings themselves.
