EMS Sequencer 256 & VC3S in 1978 Film "The Shout

The sound alchemist (from "The Shout" by Jerzy Skolimowski, 1978)

@frozenreeds sent in the pics with the following.

"John Hurt indulging in some really nice vintage synth/concrète action in Jerzy Skolimowski's 'The Shout'."

The EMS Sequencer 256 used in the film went up for auction back in May of 2011 here. The film and EMS sighting was first mentioned in this post back in 2006. I did a quick search on YouTube and managed to find the video above.

Awesome bit of sound design in this portion of the film.  I'm curious how much was recorded during the scene vs. afterwards.

The film is available on Amazon.
