The Music of Gustav Mahler in Experimental Film Contexts
View through CrossRef
The anniversary years of the composer Gustav Mahler (150 years of his birth in 2010, 100 years of his death in 2011) took place in the age of digital media, whose technological possibilities afforded strikingly diverse opportunities to mark the occasion. Various experimental sound and video artists, produced audiovisual translations and interpretations of the composer’s music at this time, including Danish composer Henrik Marstal with VJ Dark Matters, and Austrian experimental composer Fennesz with Berlin-based video artist Lillevan. Building on a tradition which had begun in the 1990s, this repertoire is examined here from the theoretical and historical perspectives of “visual music” and intermediality.
