'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
music's multi-sensory nature, stops it from sounding alone, and
offers music as a subject for art historians. Music bleeds into art
and visuality, in its graphic depiction in notation, in the theatre
of performance, its sights and sites. This book looks at music in
its absolute guise as a model for art; at notation and the
conductor as the silent visual fulcra around which music
circulates; at the music and image of Erik Satie; at the concert
hall as white cube; at the symphonic film '2001: A Space Odyssey';
and at the liminality of John Cage and Andy Warhol.
