Viking Eggeling’s 1924 Symphonie Diagonale
I don’t know more than is on his Wikipedia page or in the video:
Made in 1924 by Viking Eggeling, SYMPHONY DIAGONALE is the best abstract film yet conceived. It is an experiment to discover the basic principles of the organization of time intervals in the film medium.

“The Alchemists of Sound” is a BBC documentary about the BBC Radiophonic Workshop.
The Radiophonic Workshop was responsible for trippy sound effects for BBC shows starting in 1958, and among their most well-known achievements are the theme and basically all the sound effects from the original Dr. Who.
The hour-long special is up on YouTube in six parts. I’ve embedded part two above, because it was my favorite, but you can see the other parts, if you have an hour to kill, at the via link below.
