Leonard Moltz, Sewing Machine1977

Super-8 movie of footage shot in and around New York City in its grittiest days, with collaged audio track of bits of found sound, ambient sound, scripted dialog and original Moog synthesizer sound. The title is taken from the sign in a window on West 24th St, when Creston lived at 727 Sixth Avenue (Avenue of the Americas), down the street, when Chelsea was a district of plants and clothing factories.
