In this lecture, Elisabeth Son will explain how she collaborates with the composer Martin Davorin Jagodic who developed specific techniques with images as an integral part of music. Various technologies including computers are combined to synthesize images, drawings, and interactive possibilities. The starting point for the actual composition are situations, place or series of places perceived in terms of a mixture of sounds and visual elements. Affinities or relationship may exist between a perception and its transformation and may give rise to a musical interpretation of an image.

But, in many cases both elements - musical and non musical - generate new perceptions -ones which are variable, hence interactive - of the two media. We feel it, as if there was some common denominator making their fusion possible. For some pieces of music/image, the starting point is an idea, musical thought or gesture which needs to be "prolonged" through a new medium. For others, the image is like the condensed form of a scenario which is to be developed over time, creating links, a structure or even the whole musical form. Moreover, alongside the composer's recent projects and compositions are several older works which objectively prefigured this form of composition, or way of doing things. Thanks to the development of new technologies, it enables direct and realtime intervention and transformation of both images and music.
