Polystyrene

​Polystyrene is an exploration of the juxtaposition of abstract audio and image. Audio has the power to change and affect our emotional response to the imagery it is presented with, just as the visual components can affect and change our relationship to the sonic material. Our focus can be attuned to different aspects of the audio, depending on the synchronization or lack of synchronicity with the visual events. It is my intention, through utilizing visual components within this piece, to guide the listener through the dense and chaotic musical passages which are so intrinsic to the work and to bring the dense rhythmic and compositional details into greater focus and clarity.
