POINT LINE CLOUD "POINT LINE CLOUD is a collection of audio and video collaborations between Curtis Roads and Stephen O'Reilly, it has been a ever shifting project over the years which constantly continues to evolve. The first performance of the materials that grew into the project was in 2001 at a concert with Autechre and Russell Haswell in Los Angeles. Since then it has been performed in many diverse venus around the world." Point Line Cloud (selections) from Brian O'Reilly on Vimeo . From Vimeo - description "Beneath the level of the note lies the realm of sound particles. Each particle is a pinpoint of sound. Recent advances let us probe and manipulate this microacoustical world. Sound particles dissolve the rigid bricks of musical composition-the notes and their intervals-into more fluid and supple materials. The sensations of point, pulse (series of points), line (tone), and surface (texture) emerge as the density of particles increases. Spar...

This is a very beautiful work and at present one of my favourite audio visual pieces - ok I do have a lot of favourites, its the quietness and simple shadings - just great. "Abstract birds are Pedro Mari and Natan Sinigaglia, two visual music artists. Their work combines images with sounds through the use of musical instruments interfaced with generative systems dedicated to audiovisual creation in real time. The musical aesthetic is rooted both in the tradition of classical music and in the well-established tradition of jazz, ...

"Gravité (Gravity) Falling objects synchronized to produce rhythm. 2009" source vimeo page: http://www.vimeo.com/6111739 This is quite brilliant as it demonstrates that a visual music work does not neccesarily have to consist of abstract imagery and music - it can consist of real action footage. However, in a visual music work, the visual and music become like a connected entity - a visual music object. I discussed this idea in my latest paper on Visual music - a composition of the 'things themselves' at the Sounding Out 5 conference held at Bournemouth University, UK. I am beginning to see more works of audio and visual that make such interplays. (authors opinion) Gravité from Renaud Hallée on Vimeo .
