ai/love
Yoko Ono composed the soundtrack for the film by Takahiko Iimura (also called Ai (Love). Scott MacDonald (After Image, April, 1978): "Love is interesting, because of the dramatic black and white contrasts in the imagery, created in part by shooting in 8mm and then blowing the film up to 16mm, and because of Yoko Ono's soundtrack, which combines a 'shhhhhhh' reminiscent of white noise with a variety of other intermittent sounds (to make the soundtrack, Ono hung a microphone out the window)." "I first saw Iimura's film "Love" in 1962 in Tokyo. I was very impressed by the poetic and sensuous, yet experimental, direction of the film and did the sound for it. " -- Yoko Ono, 1996.
