H.I.P.S.T.E.R. Online Lecture Series: Teddie Hwang
Music and Imagery

'Music and Imagery' is an interdisciplinary lecture by Teddie Hwang which demonstrates how the principles of fine art photography give insight into music and its interpretation. Using her own works ranging from portraiture to landscape astrophotography, she explains the most essential concepts in music through this visual medium to promote and inspire musicians to be compelling storytellers. Key points to this lecture include creativity based on a conscious intention, understanding composition and aesthetics, and going beyond the visible notation. When these concepts are internalized, music-making then becomes an enriching and fulfilling experience, both for the performer as well as for the listener.
