Once upon a time there was a label called Table of the Elements. (Their
website is defunct)  They issued multiple CDs of works by Tony Conrad and
Jack Smith.  Mostly audio only things, but perhaps among them was a
soundtrack or two to a film of one or the other?Š

Actually, it looks like probably not, but some interesting things
