Theres a long tradition in music of composers painting the words - TopicsExpress



          

Theres a long tradition in music of composers painting the words of songs and other types of word singing (probably goes back to the birth of language when that was driven by onomatopoeia and emotional expression). Video is the perfect vehicle for running word painting studies because it welcomes layers. Several months ago I composed a piece called WORD PAINTINGS. Its a study that has a number of functions; one, to clarify the meaning of the concept of word painting and another to experiment with multiple layers of painting - one, the sonic music delivery of the singer and the other, the visual music of the video and yet another, the integration of the sonic and visual by having the sonic drive the visual in not always obvious ways.
