a 15 min. documentary on Julián Carrillo and Sonido 13

It was filmed in Carrillo's hometown of Ahualulco, San Luis Potos�, Mexico. Directed by Mario Mendoza and edited by Patricio Hinojosa, in Spanish with English subtitles.

The video discusses basic theory about 12 equal temperament and how the composer/author divided semitones to produce 24, 48 and 96 equal. Excerpts from his microtonal piano and string works are also included, along with various scenes from Ahualulco and his life.

It was an ultra-low budget project obviously, but I would've put more than 15 minutes into it, and made it less of a documentary on Carrillo's hometown.

It's still something though, and there's not a lot about the composer out there.
