Artist Statement:

Visual music is an interdisciplinary artistic genre with roots dating back hundreds of years. The emergence of film and video in the 20th century allowed this genre to reach its full potential. The concept can be applied using a variety of approaches: for example, works in which the images and music are directly tied by sharing parameters or works in which the images “interpret” the music (or vice versa). A third category is pieces in which the visuals are edited in tight synchrony with cues in the music. The common theme is that the music and images are closely related in some form.
