When The Adventures of Prince Achmed premiered in Germany on September 23, 1926, it was hailed as the first full-length animated film. More than seventy-five years later, this enchanting film still stands as one of the great classics of animation—beautiful, mesmerizing, and utterly seductive. Created through exquisite paper silhouettes and inspired by One Thousand and One Nights, the film transforms myth, magic, and adventure into a pioneering work of visual poetry—one that laid the foundation for experimental and artistic animation.

Taken from The Arabian Nights, the film tells the story of a wicked sorcerer who tricks Prince Achmed into mounting a magical flying horse and sends the rider off on a flight to his death. But the prince foils the magician’s plan and soars headlong into a series of wondrous adventures—joining forces with Aladdin and the Witch of the Fiery Mountains, doing battle with the sorcerer's army of monsters and demons, and falling in love with the beautiful Princess Peri Banu.

Dickson & Familiar: Orchestral Ambient music with clarinet & synths
Glenn Dickson, cutting edge klezmer clarinetist, and Bob Familiar, electronic musician with a history in classic Boston rock bands, have combined to create a lush orchestral sound through layering of the clarinet and synths, yet is human and intimate in its presence.

Glenn has adopted looping techniques and digital manipulations of his acoustic clarinet sound, while Bob utilizes the Osmose keyboard, which extends the intuitive expressiveness of the traditional synthesizer through multi-dimensional sensing for every key, with  drifting loop stations, and state of the art sound processors. 

Their "compositional ambient" style encompasses soaring melodies, awesome textural layerings and detailed interplay between the instruments. They borrow from the best of the ambient world with a classical sensitivity and melodic development that sets them apart from much ambient and electronic music.  Their most recent album "The Wild Stream of Being" came out December, 2025, and their first album, "All the Light of Our Sphere" came out in May, 2025.
