Off topic: Visual Music Works
June 12, 2008I just read an interesting article about a music&design crossover project on a design-site called dexigner. Recently Parsons the New School for Design and The New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music took the stage to present visual music works. Among the works presented were an animated ecosystem that changed and grew in response to the musical score; a piece that brought to life children’s dreams as the music moved the animation from the conscious to unconscious state; and another that transformed the live musicians into on-screen avatars, who act out virtual stories through the music performed live onstage.
