A/V Corner Vol. 3

​♦
​Curated by THE EDITORS | Fall 2015

Welcome to Nat. Brut's A/V Corner, where your editors pluck bits of sound and film from public domain archives! For this issue, we've paired Georges Méliés's 1906 film The 400 Tricks of the Devil with 2 blues tracks from the early twentieth century by Kansas Joe McCoy & Sippie Wallace. The animated film is silent, so we've provided plenty of soundtrack material to go along with it!

Georges Méliés (b. 1861; d. 1938) was a French illusionist and filmmaker during the earliest days of cinema. He was a prolific innovator of visual and special effects, and made over 500 films between 1896 and 1912, only about 200 of which remain extant.

Kansas Joe Mccoy (b. 1905; d. 1950) was an American musician and songwriter. During the early 1930s, he was married to influential blues musician Memphis Minnie, and the two were a staple of the Chicago blues scene.

Sippie Wallace (b. 1898; d. 1986) was an American singer-songwriter who ranked among the top blues vocalists of the 1920s. In 1929, she abandoned show business to become a church organist and singer in Detroit before returning to her career in the mid-sixties.
