According to DanSpegel-
 ...These films are visually based on  modernist composition theory, the carefully varied permutations of form  are manipulated with cut-out masks so that the image photographed is  pure direct light shaped, rather than the light reflected from drawings  as in traditional animation. The eerie, sensuous neon glow of these  forms is paralleled by pioneer electronic music sound scores composed by  the brothers using a pendulum device to write sounds directly on the  film's soundtrack area, with precisely controlled calibrations.
