Minus the mysticism, Trimpin and Marclay are as committed as Kandinsky to the visual implications of sound. While many of Kandinsky’s ideas<\/a> about spiritual color and visual sound found few takers in the second half of the 20th century, they are in play today.<\/p>\n

Trimpin<\/a>– Score for PHFFFT<\/i><\/p>\n

\"TrimpinPhffft.jpg\"I remember as a child helping to build huge, wooden discs to set on
\nfire at night and roll off a ramp to hang in the air and fall into the
\nvalley below, as part of an old German festival. I heard the whistling
\nand crackling of the wet wood as it rolled down the ramp and thought of
\nopera. I asked the other boys, `Do you hear that?’ They said no. I like
\nto think my work enables other people to hear what I hear.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Marclay<\/a><\/p>\n

\"christmarclaymus.jpg\"I composed a
\nsilent collage of found film footage partially layered with computer
\ngraphics
\nto provide a framework in which live music can develop. Moving images
\nand
\ngraphics give musicians visual cues suggesting emotion, energy, rhythm,
\npitch,
\nvolume, and duration. I believe in the power of images to evoke sound<\/b>.<\/em><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
