Sound is such an important element in the moving image. I think it is almost true to say there was never a silent film era, from early on live music accompanied images. In advertising terms, sound is a powerful tool ….you can’t sell bacon without the sizzle. Artists have been fascinated either with sound or the absence of sound. This series of works explore just a few of the ways that sound and music are represented and are of course just a starter pack. But connection with performance, is an important connection. The music of John Cage is important here because although it may not be so evident in the work, Cage has probably influenced artists more than perhaps any other artist; Cage changed the way we listen.
