Interactive visual music
How can Visual Music be composed and presented in such an engaging way that it will turn spectators into participants? How to connect a youthful, twenty-first century audience who are keen to update their Instagram story with Visual Music? Visual Music is an art form, which is âan equal and meaningful synthesis of the visible and audibleâ (Lund & Lund 2009 149) and âis typically non-narrative and non-representationalâ (Evans 2005 11). Visual Music is often presented as cinema. Cinema audiences are generally considered to be passive spectators, whose âreactions are pre-programmed by the director, crew, cast and writerâ (Mackintosh 2003 2). This paper highlights the nexus between, to use McCallâs (2004) terms âthe cinematic, the sculptural and the pictorialâ, with a focus on creating interactive Visual Music installations
