A Brief History of Visual Music

via William Bowers.

Era of no music, yah, totally, not even birds and whales; music invented by primordial mucky ancestor of Lee "Scratch" Perry; shift from percussion to primitive wind instruments, maybe, by primoridal mucky ancestor of George "Caress" Gershwin; music somehow gets linked to visuals related to the performance of said music, and also to unrelated visuals/spoken & enacted audio--possibly religion's fault; composers make incidental music for Shakespeare plays and the like, plus opera is born around same time; militaries and schools and fascist leaders have "bands"; music accompanies vaudeville acts; live, and then recorded, music accompanies early "silent" cinema; music is composed for "talkies"; the "musical" evolves from its stage confines into a screen genre; vinyl allows "pure listenership," though many pissed-at-CD-&-mp3 folx will later claim that the big album covers served as visual accompaniment; television and advertising create unescapable music-filled juggernaut of talented players and vocalists hawking detergent & tobacco; Elvis, Beatles, the Who, et al, hijack fictional cinematic medium, around same time rockumentary is fashioned; The Graduate soundtrack births Scorsese & Wes Anderson, etc.; Waylon Jennings narrates "The Dukes of Hazzard"; music video brundlefucks the difference between music's promotional use in commercials/film; something about Pink Floyd's laser shows; film soundtrack CDs become either freestanding fetish pieces (rated "PG," as in Peter Gabriel/Philip Glass) or promotional mixtapes featuring songs very cynically "inspired by" the movie('s demographic potential); soundtrack albums come out for movies that don't exist; the iPod morphs one's life into the ultimate soundtracked movie, the exclusive contributors to which can be found via last.fm, etc.; Musicals make a comeback at the megaplex and on the album sales charts thanks to something Disney concocted about an undangerous Narnia high school; various indie artists release a "tribute" soundtrack to the film Two-Lane Blacktop even though it already featured period music; with the music industry in turmoil, and music writers bound by union contract to begin sentences about it with "with the industry in turmoil," Jay-Z straight-up inverts the paradigm like a faux-retired about-to-retire label-head should, by releasing American Gangster, a spontaneous, rushed-to-market, and best of all, uncynical "inspired-by" album re: a film, giving birth to the current marketplace trendbite for the relationship between cinema and music: "organic synergy."
