The way in which music and image are linked was a concern for all the groups working with SilicaScope. How closely to connect audio and visual rhythm? Here is an excellent example of a loose approach that used different film formats to create a very specific atmosphere. Check out the making of documentary for extra info.

Getting started

Silicascope started with a short introduction by myself, Charlie Stern. I gave some background the course and an outline of what was in store.
