This is a series of videos in which I created visuals on my recordings of Debussy's Préludes (Book 2) and Images (Book 2). • The visuals are not just a mere accompaniment but a unique way to enhance the listening experience and provide a deeper understanding of the music. I believe that, willingly or not, when we listen to music or compose one, we consciously or unconsciously visualize intricate lines that intertwine and create a harmonious whole. • These videos will make the intricate lines in the composer's mind visible, enhancing our appreciation of the complexity and (hopefully) the beauty of the music. They also serve as an educational tool, providing a deeper understanding of the structure and interplay of the musical elements. • I record all my projects on a MIDI equipped acoustic grand piano. The captured MIDI data served as a source for the animations and coupled with the acoustic recording. • I admire paintings just as much as music, Claude Debussy (1862-1918) wrote in a 1911 letter to composer Edgar Varèse (1883-1965) when he was approaching 50 years old and had a plethora of new compositions under his belt and many more to come. • In the mid-nineteenth century, Schumann, also a critic and journalist like Debussy, said, The painter can learn from a Beethoven symphony, just as the musician can learn from a work by Goethe. • Debussy must have thought that a painting, at least a major one, conveyed to the observer something intangible and inexpressible. • The French composer wanted to paint pictures with tones, to create visions that had not yet been recorded in music, and to the extent that his music progressed in a way that resembled that of a painter like Monet, it was unavoidable that he would be identified with the Impressionist movement. • But Debussy scowled at the name, just as he scowled at the label of Symbolist. • In actuality, his aversion to the designations Impressionism and Symbolism originated from his strong desire to avoid being labeled. • Debussy's contemporaries were well aware of the composer's wish to be linked with the visual arts. • Judging by his works, and by their titles, he is indeed a painter, and that is what he wants to be, his close friend René Peter observed. • His works are referred to as images, sketches, prints, arabesques, masques, and black-and-white studies. • It's clear that painting in music is a joy for him. • His music created mysterious resonances within us, evoking a longing at the core for a poetry that only he could fulfill, painter Maurice Denis said. • There seems to be something old being operated upon in just about everything innovative. • There was always the pianistic heritage of Chopin and Liszt in Debussy's piano works. • He molded, reconfigured, and added highly original fragrances to the ingredients at hand, much like an imaginative chef, to create a stunning new pianistic meal. • In the field of harmony, he pioneered new-old paths, evoking ancient eras through the use of octaves, fourths, and fifths. • Read more: http://okonsar.com/42e-Debussy_Integr... • SPOTIFY: • Artist page: https://open.spotify.com/artist/2mRKh... • ITUNES / Apple Music: • Artist page: / artist • AMAZON-MUSIC • https://music.amazon.com/browse/music... • ............................................................ • Available for licensing: POND5 Artist Page: • https://www.pond5.com/artist/davidezr... • #contemporaryclassicalmusic #orchestra #classicalmusic #abstract #pianomusic #composer #musicvisualization #musicaclassica #symphony #visualmusic #contemporarymusic #experimentalmusic #electronicmusic #avantgardemusic
