Ah, there is an eBay auction for a Francois De Roubaix Chapi Chapo 7″ record featuring two tracks from the animated short, “Chapi Chapo”. It is bid up to $70 at this moment with five hours left to go.
Luckily for you, I have an entire page dedicated to Chapi Chapo where you can download these two tracks (“Chapi chapo Theme” and “Cubes Multicolores”) in their entirety in mp3. The music of Francois de Roubaix is enchanting, especially in his use of the organs and analog synthesizers. It’s a must listen!
If you view the movies associated with it, be sure to take note of the wonderful French cursive script titles, which really remind me of The Little Prince. I would love to make animated features like these. Stop-motion animation can create a sense of magic unlike any other type animation since you can animate objects within the world, so that they appear to interact with the world in a way that cell animation is hard-pressed to compete with. Remember “Teeny Little Super Guy” messing around in the cupboard while everyone was out?
