This work, Study in Rain and Light, features sound entirely synthesized from rain sounds and visual content generated from videos of rainy days. In order to do so, I needed to develop techniques for audiovisual relationships. These techniques are based on terminology used in film and audiovisual research, such as congruence and counterpoint. By adopting these concepts as composition techniques, I was able to create meaningful relationships between sound and image that worked to unify a concert-length work. In this document, I will describe the techniques that I used and how I applied them in order to compose this work. 2019-06-21 English text The Ohio State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1554491734331463 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1554491734331463 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
