The Visual Music Studio provides students from the Illustration and Communication Design and Technology programs at Parsons The New School for Design the opportunity to work together with a variety of analog and digital technologies to create animations to musical compositions and sound art pieces from contributing composers and instrumentalists from the New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music. In this Collaboration Studio course, students produce one Visual Music public presentation that will showcase all audio-visual works and custom tools developed throughout the semester, and a DVD featuring the Visual Music works produced in the studio. A chamber music ensemble of student instrumentalists from the New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music will work closely with the Visual Music Studio to rehearse, perform, and record the musical compositions developed throughout the semester.
