BOMBlog Presents: Sound + Vision
Curated by Alexis Georgopoulos and Clinton Krute
“Join BOMB Magazine’s BOMBlog for an evening of music and video art—new, old and in-between. Sound + Vision explores a history of interaction between audio and video artists, between moving image and music. Featuring live collaborations between established and emerging musicians and artists, as well as several rarely screened pieces and excerpts of filmmaker Matt Wolf’s upcoming film on the invention of the teenager, Sound + Vision highlights the cycle of inspiration that exists among artists working in different time-based media.

His landmark work at the San Francisco Tape Center—Martin was the first to project images for a live performance of Terry Riley’s “In C”—stand as early testament to his love of “painting in time” and to his involvement with music. He has worked intensively with Pauline Oliveros, Morton Subotnick, Ramon Sender, David Tudor, and choreographers such as Anna Halprin, and Merce Cunningham.
