Musical sounds often stimulate visual images of all kinds for both the composer and audience. As sound unfolds in time it can be experienced as a story line. This progression can have complementary moving pictures that evolve along with the music. Rudolfi Artworks explores these possibilities.
The arrangement of both still and moving pictures are governed by ingredients intrinsic to music itself: rhythm, harmony, melody. These elements influence the choice of images and their connections within the video artwork projects that I make. The exchange of aural and visual impressions in the brain is also called synesthesia.
To date, the sound tracks I use pre-exist the video; it is written by others. The music then drives the story, not the reverse. Some music functions with a more constant background texture. Other music has more dramatic structure with a distinct beginning, middle and end (or: thesis, antithesis, synthesis).
This difference effects how the chosen pictures evolve and the kind of narrative within each Artworks project.
One might ask: "What was the composer of a piece of music seeing in his 'minds eye' as he heard his score unfold?" In the "Video Projects" tab above you can sample different sound tracks for each project theme. Each Rudolfi Artworks study illustrates just one of many possible answers to this question.
