More on visual music

Feb 20, 2007 in Audiovisual / 音楽

This is originally a reply for a student’s post on the blog of graduation project, share it here:

Personally I love Sakamoto’s performance with Toshio Iwai “1919″.
I’ve post the link below in the reply of Ming’s post. I love that the most. Performance with Alva Noto “Insen” some how for me is bit “outdated”, of course, it is not fair to compare with 1919 since it was so perfect.

Toshio Iwai himself is a very good artist specialize in sound visualization. His TENORI-ON is his super cool and noziey work. Check out in youtube for thousands of Tenori-on.

Electroplankton for NDS is his another cool work.

Of course, my inspiration, I won’t hesitate to suggest to get reference from the master of Visual Music Thomas Wilfred:

Lumia and Clavilux is must see.

Remember i’ve talked about the work that to put the sand on the speakers? This is Gary Hill’s Soundings (or exactly, should be “Mediations” remake of soundings).

Perfect example on experimenting the relationship between sound and visual.

I found a similar DVD from the neo-jazz album Fast Asleep by Funki Porcini.
