Visual Music

Pedro Mari/ Defetto Very beautiful harmonious colour - very musical, like the harmonics available in a music tone. These images are as beautiful still as they are in motion. source image:  http://www.defetto.com/1117/14230/works/iiiii-aii-panta-rhei see also flickr: flickr.com/photos/defetto/sets/72157602683025565/ "Everything is subject to change. The harmony of things is contained in their perennial change. This change is not random or chaotic; it is governed by precise rhythms. πάντα ῥει is an eternal flow, constantly evolving, never equal to himself." source:  http://www.defetto.com/1117/14230/works/iiiii-aii-panta-rhei Vimeo embed (silent) πάντα ῥει from defetto on Vimeo .

Visual artist - Video artist - Awork // Mikołaj Pasiński hypnotic neon like imagery - a kind of beat video - forwards, backwards motion, light filled colour.  Colour with a hint of volume, graphical figures with a slight sense of depth.  Lovely (I am in a one word, adjective type description mode these days!) Awake Awake from Awork // Mikołaj Pasiński on Vimeo . Minimal music vs minimal visualisation. Music: Emptyset - Awake Picture: Mikołaj Pasiński http://vimeo.com/12325755

Richard Lainhart's audio visual work I have been a fan of, ever since I encountered one of my favourite audio visual works, Pneuma.  I have already blogged about this work previously.  I am very saddened to hear that Richard died on the 30th December, 2011.  So as a tribute to him and his wonderful piece Pneuma, I am reposting it here and am very saddened to hear this news. PNEUMA - Richard Lainhart http://vimeo.com/1014353 Pneuma from Richard Lainhart on Vimeo . "Pneuma" is based on growth patterns generated by celluar automata software, processed in Adobe After Effects to create constantly changing structures ranging from the crystalline to the architectural. The soundtrack is a live improvisation on the Buchla 200e analog modular synthesizer, controlled by the Haken Audio Continuum Fingerboard fretless keyboard controller. This HD version was rendered in May, 2008. Warning: "Pneuma" displays an intense, periodic flicker pattern that some may ...

VIDEODROME is Toronto's foremost event for Visual Music and A/V culture since 2004.

CTM.12 – SPECTRAL "// 30 January – 5 February 2012 // Various venues, Berlin With an extensive program of concerts, discourses and an exhibition space, CTM.12 – Festival for Adventurous Music and Related Arts is appropriating the festival theme SPECTRAL to explore the current reemergence of all things ghostly and dark in experimental music, avant-pop, and art – and to speculate about its possible causes and inherent potentials. The thirteenth edition of the Festival will be held from 30 January to 5 February 2012 . As always, CTM runs parallel to and in cooperation with Berlin’s festival for art and digital culture, transmediale, which celebrates its 25th anniversary in 2012. In addition to a comprehensive music program at HAU, Berghain, Passionskirche, Gretchen, Kater Holzig and Horst Krzbrg, a discourse series developed in collaboration with the philosopher, psycho-historian and author Andreas L. Hofbauer will address the festival’s theme by pursuing questions con...

Jean Piché OCÉANES, 2010/2011 Exploring parallels between image and music with particle generated image and granular synthesis generated sound - incredibly beautifully composed. 'A videomusic work by Jean Piché, 'exploring the aesthetic potential of particle based computer generated imagery. Analogous to granular sound processing, particle synthesis allows for the creation and control of complex materials using an large number of very small components. Sound and image coordination does not explicitely use synchresis as a discursive device but aims for an elevated relation based on metaphor and emotional detachment, as if contemplating a field of images from a distant perspective.' source: http://vimeo.com/25933560 view on vimeo OCÉANES from Jean Piché on Vimeo .
