MUSI302

This course provides historical, theoretical, and practical perspectives on the synesthetic correspondences between music and the moving image. These creative "correspondences" have fascinated artists, musicians, scientists, and philosophers for centuries, particularly since the turn of the twentieth century, when new technologies such as photography, sound recording, and cinema challenged traditional distinctions between artistic disciplines and encouraged experimental approaches to this interplay of sight and sound. We will study a broad range of intermedia artworks, concepts, and techniques from the fields of expanded cinema and visual music to gain a deeper understanding of multisensory artistic practice.
