>>There is a short movie from 1929 called "Un Chien Andalou" written by Luis Bunuel and Salvador Dali
In Toronto one of our local musicians (Jeff Plewman, aka Nash the Slash) does live performances playing soundtracks to Un Chien Andalou and other silent movies. Pretty bizzare but very powerful. Yes the music reaches a crescendo when the scalpel cuts across the eyeball....
Nash plays mostly electric mandolin and electric violin through a variety of effects, some of which I built during my university years a long time ago. Very interesting and quite wierd... definitely worth seeing if you are ever in Toronto...
