"Musical Form in Non- Narrative Video" explores musical structure as a model for visual form over time, specifically in the creation of artistic video. Video is a medium in which sound and image coexist at the source as electronic signals, offering new possibilities of abstract synesthesia. Forms in which neither sight nor sound dominants facilitate a sensory experience of the content. A musical model for abstract form supports an effort to free video from the forward-impelled, linear narrative; to create a form which can be experienced many times on multiple levels. Musical parameters such as meter, dynamics and motivic development are correlated to visual parameters. Their application in my own videotapes is analyzed. Experimental form-generated pieces are outlined. "Aviary" and "Counterpoint" are video scores which present two different approaches to music image composition. A score system in which video and audio can be synchronized via SMPTE Time Code and MIDI Digital Audio Code is examined. Increasing videodisc distribution opens an avenue for serious artistic applications of music- image composition for a home, concert and exhibition medium. The videodisc medium also breaks down the linear impulse in favor of viewer choice with accompanying demands for formal growth. by Ellen Irene Sebring.
