    • Summary:"What are the connections between sounds and abstract images? What were the first audiovisual instruments? How did music influence Kandinsky's work? What are the most significant audiovisual installations? What relationship is there between VJs and live cinema? And finally, what is synesthesia? _Visual Music Masters_ thoroughly explores past and present research to answer these and many other questions about the relationship between music and abstract art. Covering figures that range from Toulouse-Lautrec to Nam June Paik, from Händel to Xenakis, and from Fischinger to Ikeda, this book illustrates the stages by which the artistic community has embraced the latest technologies and a multi-sensory universe, creating in the process an independent form of expression: visual music."--From back cover
