FBAS Furniture 

(2003) 

by Karl Kliem. This video is part of the screensaver section of the DIN AV 01/04/CN/86.03 DVD. Karl Kliem made a Max-MSP patch that remixed Eric Satie's Gnossienne Nr. 4.

The music is a processed version of an Eric Satie piano piece that Karl Kliem did with Max-MSP. As Satie was referring his music to be like audible furniture, Kliem thought he would do a video that worked as visual furniture. Has something of a modern campfire in black and white. Originally on a DVD called DIN AV 01/04/CN/86.03 released on ~Scape.

Karl Kliem's video FBAS Furniture is one of the three "screensavers" on the DVD.

Notations 21 (2009) by Theresa Sauer features illustrated musical scores from more than 100 international composers, all of whom are making amazing breakthroughs in the art of notation. Notations 21 is a celebration of innovations in musical notation, employing an appreciative aesthetic for both the aural and visual beauty of these creations. The musical scores in this edition were created by composers whose creativity could not be confined by the staff and clef of traditional western notation, but whose musical language can communicate with the contemporary audience in a uniquely powerful way.
