Belson's films are represented by Center for Visual Music (CVM) in Los Angeles where they're currently being digitized and transferred. Our friend Jimi Hey turned us onto his amazing work.

Suburban Lawns from Los Angeles — “Most of our songs are rags. I mean we're talking about outmoded sensibilities and redundant type mind… [outmoded sensibilities] like surf culture.”

Our friend Jon of the Threee Geniuses and Supreme Dicks. Los Angeles Public Access Television.

Time Traveler, Von Lmo.

Karlheinz Stockhausen, one of the fathers of sampling and cut and paste / collage in modern music. The text of this composition is presented in a carefully devised scale of seven degrees of comprehensibility… just like our video list here. Gesang der Jünglinge.
