INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION OF VIDEO AND MOVING IMAGE ON SYNESTHESIA AND VISUAL MUSIC
PALACIO DE LOS CONDES DE GABIA, GRANADA, SPAIN, 28 APRIL - 1 MAY 2007

CALL FOR KINETIC WORKS
MuVi (Visual Music) invites artists, musicians, designers and performers,
also professors and
university students, to submit proposals of kinetic works to be part of a
public exhibition, with
performances and discussions. Visual Music exhibition is part of the Second
International Congress "Synaesthesia: Science & Art", to be held from the
28th April to the 1st of May 2007, Palacio de Exposiciones y Congresos, in
Granada, Spain.

DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS
Latest date for submissions is 30 November 2006 (date of postage).

TOPIC
The topic of the exhibition is visual music and synesthesia. For "visual
music", we intend every representation to be only visual or audiovisual, suggested by the music.
The correspondences between the visual and music can be the results of
synesthetic perceptions (the visuals are the mental images suggested by the
music); or the correspondences can be the result of studies on the
analogies between the visual and musical languages (rhythms, tonality,
texture, colours, etc.). The support of a narrative thread is not required.

WHO CAN PARTICIPATE?
The call is for two categories of participants:
. Participant A: professionals (artists, musicians, designers and performers)

last 12 months).

D.D. Jameson - Colour Music (1844)

D.D. Jameson devised a systematic approach to create a colour music score for a specially adapted piano. His scores took the information from a piano music score and applied it to a sound-music colour scheme and translated it into a colour score. The colour score communicated the musical information - such as notes, rhythm, durations. His score was to link to a special adaptation of a piano music instrument that would have the keys prepared with the relevant colours. The musician could then play the piano by following the colour music score.  Not only were the piano keys to be coloured according to his colour to tone analogy system but the score was to also communicate other aspects of the musicianship such as: the intervals of the music, the notes and their octaves, by mapping the height of the colour to the octave of the note and the width of the colour to the duration of the note. "A pianoforte having been prepared in the manner described, any air may be slo...
