In this originally silent home movie from the 1940’s by Dutch amateur filmmaker Johann Hunningher, we see two ladies performing a famous piece by George Bizet for piano four-hands.
I created a soundtrack for this movie in 2008, which could be described as a cross between a strange form of karaoke and an attempt to give the images a new dimension through sound.
