Anyone familar the refrence? I've heard of Jean Epstein in context of
Luis Buñuel being his assistant during the silent era but know little of
his later works. I would have thought the Soviets in the 30s
experimenting with animating optical sound would also be a percursor

Further to comment I guess as 12 of the 17 refrences he cites are his
own so that alone might very well bear things out, but still I would
think real-time implementation has a much greater impact on the
viability of performance rather than viability as a tool for composition.
