...shape like a sea-horse at bay. A flamelike, almost scarifying vitality leaps forth from Interior Landscape, twisting savagely sidewise, up and around. Only the deliberately faded grays and greens, and the firm blue square in the middle, keep the painting from dissolving into a chaos of raw emotion. Still, any really good abstract painting, Helen argues, "plays on your emotional gut. It gets to you, and many people would just as soon leave that dimension alone. I think, in a way, a painting is a flat head-on confrontation, the same kind of thing that happens when...
...letters-some silly, some tragic-come into the Berkeley Barb, East Village Other, Los Angeles Free Press or any of 15 underground newspapers in the U.S. and abroad. Their language is raw, often misspelled, jangling with obscenities. A few are transparent put-ons. Most, though, are hippies' cries for help on medical matters. Dropping out of "straight" society provides no immunity to mankind's injuries and germs. Like everyone else, the members of the long-haired generation are often ignorant and afraid...
...basic elements of Moog's machine are amplifiers, mixers, filters anc voltage-controlled oscillators. Some ol these, connected to the keyboard, trigger various "raw" sounds, such as "sawtooth" waves and "white noise." Other parts then modify the raw sounds by controlling their attack, volume and rate of decay, and by adding such characteristics as vibrato or echo. Complicated combinations of sounds-like the counterpoint and chords of Carlos' Bach album-are achieved by taping each series of sounds as they are produced, then combining them on multiple tracks of the same tape...

To do this, he jettisoned polished finish in favor of apparently raw brush strokes, which in reality were painstakingly executed and frequently reworked. On another level, he strove to transmute biomorphic forms into a single unending composition...
...feels Eisenstein's intelligence at work in every frame of the film. What is most fascinating about Potemkin is ultimately very individualistic. It is the virtuosity of the director. The drama of Potemkin is of an artist making a masterpiece out of his raw materials as we watch. Motion is created before our eyes, from still shots, as in the montage on the steps, or the three shots of stone lions whose juxtaposition makes the Czarist lion seem to stand up and roar. The very astringency of the proletariat form seemed to bare, as in any stylized form, the sinews...
