Bath Spa University – Seeing Sound 2

[Seeing Sound aims] to explore areas such as visual music, abstract cinema, experimental animation, audiovisual performance and installation work through paper sessions, screenings and performances. This year will see a partial focus on direct sound – the generation of sound and music from visual material (by various techniques including images drawn or photographed on an optical film soundtrack). This practice is almost as old as sound cinema itself and has influenced the development of both electronic music and abstract cinema/visual music.
