At first glance, abstract animation seems weird to me. The first abstract animation that I watched is Scribble Dub by Ross Hogg, and after finished watching it draws my curiosity towards the making process of the scratchy aesthetic in his animation, and figured out that the artist scratches on top of a film, and is 'scanned' into a machine that will process it into a film. I'd like try some experimental things like this just because it looks fun to make.
I saw this banner earlier when I opened up Skwigly's main page and looked up the artist who made it as it reminds me of Scribble Dub. Apparently, the animator, Steven Woloshen, has been a pioneer of this abstract animation movement since the 80s. His work shows coherence between animation and sound as if he made the animation as he listens to the music, but that might just be my own speculation. Also, the scratching over used films worked really well with the beat of the music.
