CORRESPONDENCE

Correspondence, an experimental audiovisual project, was born out of the research work carried out by the Laboratoire Musique et Informatique de Marseille on Temporal Semiotic Units (UST). USTs are sound figures whose musical meaning is expressed temporally. They are the result of a series of observations made in the practice of electroacoustic music. Each unit has a morphological and semantic description. This project presents the result of the illustration of the nineteen units listed in the book Les UST, éléments nouveaux d'analyses musicales published in 2003. For each UST, chosen randomly, the two artists work individually and without consultation on the sound or image over a given period with an imposed duration of 1 min 30. On the scheduled date, the video and music are assembled, with no changes made.
