Re: VISUAL PRESENTATION



Perhaps this is a bit black and white... but:

If the music is really sucking, it can be a real help to have some visual
element going and distracting your audience.
If the music is really good, it can really suck to have some visual element
going on and distracting your audience.

The random collision of "your sounds" with "someone else's" visuals, can
create happy accidents.
It can also overwhelm the inner-landscape that the visuals or the music
alone would have created.

If you invest in synchronizing the audio and visuals to create a piece, 
that
leverages both sound and vision, then you have something new and different.
The whole is more than the sum of the parts.  And you know it succeeds on
those terms when you feel the one element fails without the presence of the
other.  Now, it's THIS what I would like to experience more.
