Audio Visual on Visual and Related Media
Author: Cornelia Lunds

Be it music video, VJ-ing or artists jamming live with musicians - the field of audiovisual productions continues to widen in the experimental and the commercial areas alike. One concept keeps cropping up: "Visual Music". The roots of the term go back to the discussion on absolute film in the 1920s and 1930s. Consequently, the relevant publicati... more »ons usually deal with the historical aspects. Only rarely is the gap between them and contemporary audiovisual art forms and formats bridged. The manifold possibilities in this field have become virtually limitless thanks to digital processing and the new media technologies. The new ARNOLDSCHE Art Publishers publication Audio.Visual - On Visual Music and Related Media edited by Cornelia and Holger Lund closes that gap in investigating current audiovisual production in essays by international experts under the heading "Visual Music". The study comprises a scholarly section and a second part in which contemporary audiovisual praxis is presented and contextualised. In the scholarly study, the subject of "Visual Music" has been deliberately approached from fringe areas (music video, expanded cinema, games, etc.) so that the phenomenon can be more easily demarcated from and related to other audiovisual forms of production via interfaces and boundaries. In the "praxis section", various approaches in production and ways of dealing with Visual Music are presented from the angles of music, musicology, VJ-ing, art, curating and software development. They provide insights into what is currently happening on both the experimental and the club scenes. The approaches and conclusions presented in the book can be monitored and studied in-depth with the enclosed DVD containing historical and current audio/video material that would usually be difficult to access. The publication is intended as a forum for exchanging all sorts of positions in musicology and praxis. Reading it reveals that "Visual Music" is not so much an established genre as a term for audiovisual forms of production concerned with the interoperation of visual and acoustic elements on an equal footing. An exciting book that is also superlatively designed with essays by international experts on the interrelationship of image and sound in the new media - from the experimental scene to music video praxis and the club scene.
