There’s a lot of strobing and intense sounds in this week’s #LaEsoterica offerings. If this isn’t for you I can recommend the recent PBS “American Masters” documentary “Sun Ra: Do The Impossible” about the life & work of poet, musician and godfather of Afro-Futurism Sun Ra. You can watch it for free here (https://www.pbs.org/wnet/americanmasters/sun-ra-do-the-impossible-documentary/37455/)

First up we have the animated “Blinkity Blank” (1955) (https://youtu.be/q3YeWgUgPHM?si=wSlrpMoLq3H25hKH) directed by Scottish-American animator and filmmaker with music composed by Canadian composer, luthier and sound editor Maurice Blackburn. McLaren made “Blinkity Blank” (1955) by engraving directly onto black film leader. The soundtrack even combines with the sounds of McLaren scratching onto the film's optical soundtrack with Blackburn’s compositions
