Look at the Sound

Since my expertise in the field of music is so limited I had a lot of questions that I could not answer myself. I turned to a professional in order to find these answers and see the verity of opinions.

Interview with already before mentioned Siamak Anvari - sonologists and composer.

How audiovisuals during your performances could improve the quality of the event?
Well I see it as a different sort of event. An experience, which is not only about music and listening but also something with a new identity, that consists of visual and sonic elements.
In fact I don't see it merely as an extra feature to the music.

What visual ingredients you desire to see in a musical performance?
It definitely depends on the music. Or we could also think otherwise and say that the music depends on the visuals. So in fact it is some sort of a feedback between them. Therefor the visual ingredients for me can be anything relevant to the work and its concept. Of course I have some personal preferences but I guess it can't be mentioned without any context.

What visuals during the performance could distract or mislead your listeners?
Those are alien elements to the work, which has some connotations that are irrelevant to the music and consequently to the final result.

Which method of visualization production you think is more appropriate to convey meaningful experience of listening? What is your motivation behind your choice?
A) Production on location – visual artist on the spot prepares audiovisual peace that is based on real-time experiences and impression of the performance.
B) Off location production — beforehand visual artists prepares complete visual material that later on is only implemented in the performance but not adjusted
during it.
I believe the A situation requires a very high degree of virtuosity in working with the visual medium in real time and to my experience otherwise the result tends to be not very strong and successful. B situation the same way that I work with my compositions (known as outside time) creates the opportunity to think and reflect on different aspects of the work and therefore there is higher chance of producing a high quality result.
