Elektrische Lippen, 1969

Significant in terms of a cinema debut for both director and composer, Elektrische Lippen draws from the sprit of liberation, both of women and sexual behaviour. The film depicts the sweet young generation of Amsterdam at ease with itself and its apparently abundant needs. More innocent than many of its successors, the score radiates the cool and erotic optimism of late-sixties Europe by way of funk ostinati and obligato wah-wah passages.
