Abstract

When trying to affect our emotions as a narrative accompaniment to familiar visuals, elec-tronic and pre-recorded sounds colour our perception in a unique way, arguably beyond the possi-bilities of conventional instruments. The omnipresent warnings of beeping mobile phones, pop-music ringtones and of course the sounds and music from video game consoles affirm that electron-ic music is not only functional, but almost mandatory. But electronic music has been influenced by the visual and in turn, the visual has been enriched by electronic music.
