Chion’s definition of synchresis is the “spontaneous and irresistible weld produced between a particular auditory phenomenon and visual phenomenon when they occur at the same time”. As this term was coined on relation to the cinema, its basis “emblematic synch point,” shows how synchresis can come to being, how a sound effect creates an event that “we haven’t had time to see” and at the same time the event that is not real, have never occured.

I moved away from the in a way, representative and cinematic definition of synchresis to more spontanous, as created on the go for of audio-visual dialogue. Video recordings of the rainy weather seen through the smudged window are accompanied with the sounds coming from Neutron Behringer and played live.

Sounds were created using Behringer Neutron semi-modular synth and a granular synthesis plugin Emergence
