Riassunto

Becoming commercially available in the mid 1960s, video quickly became integral to the intense experimentalism of New York City's music and art scenes. The medium was able to record image and sound at the same time, which allowed composers to visualize their music and artists to sound their images. But as well as creating unprecedented forms of audiovisuality, video work also producedinteractive spaces that questioned conventional habits of music and art consumption. This book explores the first decade of creative video work, focusing on the ways in which video technology was used to dissolve the boundaries between art and music.

Recensione:

Sounding the Gallery stands as impressive achievement which rescues the musical dimensions of video work, whilst also convincingly and thickly arguing for its intermedial, aesthetically pioneering audiovisuality, and its performative innovation. (Stephen Graham, MSMI)

[Rogers] breadth of knowledge offers readers from various backgrounds a concise yet insightful look at the beginnings of video art-music. With its emphasis on the musical aspects of this genre, her work provides a vital contribution to scholarship on video art-music of the 1960s and 1970s. (Megan Woller, Journal of Musicological Research)

a lucid and thorough introduction (Louise Gray, The Wire)

this study of the rise of art-music is both comprehensive and immensely readable ... Rogers knows the field inside and out, and she writes in an accessible style that makes her book attractive as a course text. Authoritative, concise, and extremely well thought out, this is the key book on this subject at this time. (W. W. Dixon, Choice)
