A hand animated film that is a precursor for Belson’s later work

Scroll paintings prepared like film strips with successive images.

An early film by Jordan Belson from 1952. "[Belson's] early films animated real objects (pavements in Bop Scotch [1952]) and scroll paintings prepared like film strips with successive images (Mandala [1953]). Belson subsequently withdrew these films from circulation as imperfect and primitive, but they already reflect his refined plastic sensibility, fine color sense, and superb sense of dynamic structure. They also foreshadow his more accomplished expressions of mystical concepts, Bop Scotch seeming to reveal a hidden soul and life-force in "inanimate" objects."

Music of the Spheres returns to Belson's galactic imagery in a kaleidoscopic journey through space and time with the technological help of an optical printer.

In fluid sequence the birth of a world depicted as a bio-astronomical event.

A bold synchronization to the transcendental music of Franz Liszt.

"In Chakra, I was able to transfer the traditional order of the chakras into a film, starting with the first (lower) chakra and working up to the seventh (top) chakra…" - Jordan Belson
