Abstract
The research project, RENDERING THE REAL - Towards a Musical Landscape investigates and further develops my studies of Australia's rural landscape within an audiovisual context. My research aims towards the synergistic properties of the seen and heard, where only the sights and sounds of my recorded environments were utilized. The research paper details the use of Apple's Final Cut Pro as the apparatus for creating and composing the works produced throughout the research. The use of the software is detailed within the paper, but also where I find inspiration and appropriation of musical constructs. I'm interested in applying musical and repetitive structures in my approach. My goal is developing and expanding notions in how we can recontextualize known experiences and environments, and in doing such find new appreciations and approaches for moving-image artworks.
