I went to a club in NY's East Village around 1981 and they had a film of Fred Astaire dancing while New Wave music was playing, and it seemed like he was keeping to the beat quite well. It made a lasting impression.

I was once invited to show exerimental films at a rave party. It was to be in the "quiet room" and they had a rental budget, though I had to bring my own 16mm projector. Of course there was a window into the quiet room and the quiet room was not quiet but invaded by deafening techno music. One of the films I brought was Martin Arnold's "pièce touchée". The drugged-out dancers and DJs were convinced that I had "performed" the film to the music, that I was "scratching" like they do with vinyl discs. They said it was fantastic and congratulated me. I was the star of the party! Thanks, Martin!
