Talk @ Zürich University of the Arts

On the Alliance of Sound and Visuals
September 12th, 2011

Daniel Späti invited me to give a talk on the relationship between sound and images at the design department of Zurich University of the Arts as part of his Image vs. Sound class. In my lecture, I used many examples from experimental film, music videos, and motion design to argue that the highest quality in audiovisual productions is only achieved if sound and motion designers work together in constant communication and exchange.

Daniel Späti also asked me to introduce my online archive for Visual Music to the students.
