Re: [microsound] synethesia?

---------------------------
synaesthesia is a very fascinating -- but also very specific --
phenomenon that i don't think should be muddied in order to make
someone's A/V show seem cooler than it may otherwise be.
---------------------------

what can you muddy, if not a phenomenon?

you're right though, the word was rattling around in my head because it
was on a flyer i recently saw. more accurately, most vj's i've seen
seem to be angling to create a visual analogy to music. more often than
not, they seem to be drawn to beat first.

probably the best a/v work i've ever seen was at terrastock in S.F.:
http://www.terrascope.org/twest.html
two guys, who aren't mentioned on that site, mixed live for every band
that played for all three days. staggering and beautiful as i recall.
another local favorite is the recent a/v work by artist gary panter:
http://www.pierogi2000.com/flatfile/panterg.html
he makes his own noisey cassettes, and does a classic psychedelic light
show along with them, with great results. hopefully he'll put out a dvd
soon.

and then there's phil niblock. i've been itching to buy a copy of this:
