Making Music with Objects

Videomusician Gabriel Shalom discusses his approach to audiovisual composition and his theory of hypercubism.

Gabriel Shalom is a director, audiovisual artist and composer living and working in Berlin, Germany. His signature work takes the form of rhythmically edited audiovisual compositions (videomusic). Taking inspiration from musique concrète, he explores the hidden musicality of everyday objects, unusual handmade electro-acoustic instruments, and manipulation of traditional instruments. He understands video to be a fundamentally audiovisual medium and strives to create highly synaesthetic works.

In his talk, Gabriel will share some of his videomusical works, discuss his approach to audiovisual composition, and present an introduction to Hypercubism, his theory of object-oriented aesthetics. Afterwards there will be time for Q&A.
