This cartoon “Вор” (Vor) or ‘The Thief’ (1934) is considered one of the most interesting cartoons of early 20th century Russian animation because of the techniques it uses. Instead of hiring a composer to write the audio track, the animators/director had noticed that if they were to make marks with pens on the audio track of the film, they could compose the music to accompany the animation by hand in a term later named ‘paper sound’ (“бумажная звука”).
As a result of this process, the music sounds way ahead of its time, sounding like a sort of analog 8-bit music.
