Description

Eye hEar The Visual in Music employs the concept of the visual in proximate relation to music, producing a tension: is it not the case that there is a gulf between painting and music, between the visible and the audible? One is full of colour and light yet silent; one is invisible and marvellously noisy. Such a belief, this book argues, betrays an ideological constraint on music, desiccating it to sound, and art to vision. The starting point of this study is more hybrid (and hydrating): that music is never employed without numerous and complex intersections with the visual. By involving the concept of synaesthesia, the book evokes musics multi-sensory nature, stops it from sounding alone, and offers music as a subject for art historians.
