Music and the Visual World
John Dante Prevedini led an online discussion for Classical Music Daily on Monday 16 December 2024
John Dante Prevedini led a one hour online discussion on the wide-ranging subject of 'Music and the Visual World' on Monday 16 December 2024. The discussion was planned to include many different aspects of the interaction between the visual and musical worlds, including music for ballet, opera, film, installations and other visual media, visual inspiration for music (such as Musorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition), visual dimensionality and motion depicted in music, visual art inspired by music, photography of music and musicians, album covers, concert posters, music word search puzzles, synaesthesia - seeing music in colours - and augenmusik / eye music.
The contributors to the live discussion were Celia Craig, Halida Dinova, Katya Lebedeva, John Dante Prevedini (chairman) and Keith Bramich.
The discussion was divided into three distinct sections:
- Music envisioned with visuals - music created with specific visual accompaniment in mind
- Music repurposed with visuals - visuals and music independently created and subsequently combined for novel purposes
- Inherently visual music - when the sonic structure of the music itself creates a visual experience
Although you've missed the live discussion, it's still possible to record a contribution from now until the end of Sunday 29 December 2024, using the Zoom link below.

Before publication, we'll send everyone who took part a 'proof' video which they can comment on, in case anything occurs during the meeting that anyone would prefer not to be published.
After participants have seen the proof, it should also be possible to record further comments using the link above, which we can publish as part of the final video.
If you can't (or prefer not to) use Zoom, short comments can also be recorded and sent using any standard audio or video file format, such as MP3 or MP4 etc, or (by prior arrangement) via Signal or WhatsApp.
