Two videos inspired by the work of Victor Nubla, a key figure in experimental and avant-garde music. The images explore the interaction between sound and vision, translating into visual form the improvisation and sound research that have characterized his work. Abstract structures, play of light and texture evoke the aesthetics and fusion between music and visual art. The videos are published in the 2022 annual catalogue of the Procedimentum magazine.
