Alternative Focus

So far in class we have seen many films that focus on the art of viewing, the power that it has when the only sense we are using are our eyes. But, when are we going to focus on something even more powerful, the correlation between sound and images.
The last film we watched, D'Est, had sounds as a stimulant, but not as a main factor. It wasn't the film though that got me think about sound, it was the readings we did by Chantal Akerman. She writes about her motivations, and music is a big motivator. I have the same feeling that I just want to shoot a huge film that focuses on music and the sweet shots that I would put along with that funky sound. For example: The Refused have a song "New Noise" on their A New Noise Theology EP. The song has some crazy footage, but just watch at some points were the music directs the movement. At about 1:30 and 4:00 minutes are a couple of the some distinguishing shots.
Only a few films we have watched have a distinct sound to vision comparison, but have a dominant visual aspect. Like Vertical Roll by Joan Jonas, The constant tapping is a soundtrack, relevant to the image portrayed, but the image commands the sound. The dropping of the frame commands the length between hits. OF course you also have some ambient sound from Lisa Steele's Birthday suit, but that is not a controlled aspect. That sound is just there for the reality of the nude body. It justifies that she is not hiding, not from the viewer or the world.
Music Videos are a great way to express music through visual images, I hope we get to see some in class this semester.
