Visual Music

"Jan Mayen" is the title for a music video directed by Michael Fragstein at Büro Achter April for Boozoo Bajou´s Album '4'. The video is really beautiful. Abstract as the director says just like the music. There are some really lovely animations of forms into and out of other forms and I love the colour combinations. Very intersting work being created by Michael and his team at Büro Achter April, they are based in Stuttgart, Germany. Work divided into stills, motion, design engineering and interactive with the really relevant subtitle "Digitale Form".

Reconstruction of Ballet Tradico from the Margarete Hastings sketches. A very interesting website (in French) - an online research website of the work of Oskar Schlemmer at: http://triadicos.wordpress.com/ A really interesting seminar - Rerunning Ballet Tradico Seminar "the seminar is intended as a space for reflection on the creation stage, particularly on what some call "broad-ranging dance reconstruction" and that we are more interested in the processes that determine results, we have called "rerunning" a term that assumes more open as interpreter of anyone who wants to rerun a past stage work." http://triadicos.wordpress.com/seminario-de-reejecucion/ Oskar Schlemmer Drawings: http://triadicos.wordpress.com/bocetos-2/ Useful links and resources http://www.thecityreview.com/bauhaus.html http://www.moma.org/interactives/exhibitions/2009/bauhaus/Main.html# Video of the reconstruction of Triadic Ballet made ​​by Margarete Ha...

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. All code will be opensource and available on github.

Force.Line.Border by Casey Farina is a beautiful audiovisual work that consists of an animated score where the movie serves as the score for three musicians who interpret a section of the screen. The design of the visual composition and the simplicity of the idea to work with three ideas/parameters of force, line and border is combined with the percussive sounds and motions so elegantly. Work : Force.Line.Border Author : Casey Farina Date : Percussion : Douglas Nottingham, Joe Perez, and Robert Esler "Black = Sound White = Silence Force.Line.Border. is an animated graphic score for a trio of indeterminate instrumentation. This work is the latest in a series of animated graphic scores that builds on the concepts developed by John Cage, Morton Feldman, Cornelius Cardew, and Earle Brown for using abstract visual imagery to define musical events. The animated score is projected into the space and the musicians perform composed improvisations derived from their interpretation...

Lumiére - An audiovisual live performance with laser projections "Three powerful white lasers draw rapid successions of ephemeral objects, seemingly floating in space. The data used to draw the shapes is transformed into audible frequencies. Laser patterns and sonic treatments are performed as an improvised dialog between the artist and the audiovisual machine. Lumière is an exploration of synchronicity and divergence, of light and darkness, movement and sound at the limits of perception." Source: http://www.monolake.de/concerts/lumiere.html Lumiére Technology Information Quote from technical page: "The lasers are controlled with analog signals, created in MaxMSP. These signals are technically the same type of signals used for audio, but they serve a different purpose and are usually not intended to be made audible. They rather control the movement of extremely fast and precise mirrors and the intensity of the laser beams and by doing so allow me to draw ...
