Students from the Interactive Audio module, as part of the Music Technology and Production programme, perform live interpretations of audio recorded from a selection of short video scenes played continuously on loop. As what is seen repeats, what is heard evolves through electronic manipulation of the original recording; thereby reimagining the visuals through sound. This event runs as part of the Frame by Frame Showcase. This event is hosted by the Music Technology & Production Programme. @musictechnologylit @musictech_lit
