“The audiovisual contract actually remains a juxtapositionat the same time as it creates a combination.”Michel Chion[1] “The sound makes us see the image differently, and then this new image makes us hear the sound differently, which in turn makes us see something else in the image, which makes us hear different things in the sound, and so on.”Walter Murch[2] “Moving images and graphics gives musicians visual cues suggesting emotion, energy, rhythm, pitch, volume, and duration. I believe in the power of images to evoke sound.”Christian Marclay[3] “Film may be acousmatic in a sense.”James A. Steintrager[4]
