My abstract video Dissonant Particles has been selected for a Visual Music marathon held in Boston on 28th April.
It appears that Visual Music is a term applied to abstract films which try to do in the visual realm what so-called absolute music does in sound (“absolute music” is music without words or dance and supposedly without reference to extra-musical ideas).
I actually don’t think of my work as “visual music”, as I am interested in having a single underlying process which produces both sounds and images. But I am certainly not objecting to having my piece in this company. It is true that my piece is “absolute” in that it doesn’t refer to people, flowers or anything else outside itself.
