Jane Cassidy, The Night After I Kicked It

Jane Cassidy is a New Orleans based multi disciplinary artist and educator from Galway, Ireland. Primarily trained in music composition and animation, Jane earned a Masters in Music and Media Technologies from Trinity College Dublin in 2008. Jane’s main interests lie in visual music, installations, live Vjing, electro-acoustic composition and multi-channel work. Jane is currently studying for a MFA in Digital Arts from Tulane University in New Orleans. She is also getting very good at sitting on her porch playing banjo.

The Night After I Kicked It is a visual music work. The music and animation were composed simultaneously to create a cohesive, tightly synchronised piece. It is an abstract piece - there is no narrative, rather both elements of the composition influence each other to create the structure and movement of the work. Within the animation the use of color, image placement on screen and the matching of images to sounds is used to create a type of associative synaesthesia.
