Call for Visual Music Works - MuVi7

CALL FOR KINETIC WORKS

MuVi7 invites artists, musicians, designers and performers, as well as professors and university

students, to submit proposals of videos to be part of a public exhibition, featuring performances

and discussions.

Visual Music exhibition is part of the VIII International Congress "Synaesthesia: Science & Art",

which will take place from the 23th to the 25th of October 2025 at Convento La Trinidad,

Palacio Abacial and Teatro Martƭnez MontaƱƩs, AlcalƔ la Real, JaƩn, Spain.

Deadline for submissions

The deadline for submissions is 30May 2025

Topic - Visual Music 

The topic of the exhibition is visual music and synaesthesia. By “visual music”, we refer to any representation, whether purely visual or audiovisual, inspired by music. The correspondences between the visual and musical elements may result from synesthetic perceptions (where the visuals are mental images evoked by music); or from studies exploring analogies between visual and musical languages (rhythms, tonality, texture, colours, etc.). A narrative thread is not required.

Who can participate?

The call is open to three categories of participants:

Participant A: professionals (artists, musicians, designers and performers)

Participant B: university professors.

Participant C: university students or recent graduated (within the last 24 months).

What can you submit?

Any form of moving image (video, animations, etc.) – only visual kinetic work, audiovisual,

or interactive – is eligible for submission.

University professors can submit collections of didactic works.

Students may submit one or more works created as part of a university course.

The submitted works must be unpublished and free of copyright restrictions.

How to make submissions

Submissions can be made through the following form: https://forms.office.com/e/9dbthWawbg

The submitted files should preferably be in MP4 format (codec H264) and must not exceed

500Mb. 

Only one work (or collection of works) can be entered on each form. 

Each author can submit a maximum of two Works/Forms.

What are the fees?

It is possible to submit one or more works to MuVi7 without paying any fees

However, the participation in the VIII International Congress Synaesthesia: Science & Art requires

payment of the congress registration fee.

Contact - Augmented Acoustics

Felix Faire (UK), a Parametric System Designer had designed some very interesting interactive installations. One of these, Contact is an interface with which to manipulate and visualize sounds. Beautiful results. View Contact: Augmented Acoustics CONTACT: Augmented Acoustics from Felix Faire on Vimeo . "CONTACT is a tangible audio interface to manipulate and visualize sounds generated from interaction with a simple wooden surface. Any physical contact with the table generates acoustic vibrations which are manipulated and visualized LIVE as they occur using several communicating pieces of software.

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
