DESCRIPTION:Screen media genres from Fantasia (1940) to the music video of
  half a century later extended the boundaries of music by bringing moving 
 images within the purview of musical organisation: the visuals of rap vide
 os\, for example\, are in essence just another set of musical parameters\,
  bringing their own connotations into play within the semantic mix in prec
 isely the same way as do more traditional musical parameters. But in the l
 ast two decades digital technology has taken such musicalisation of the vi
 sible to a new level\, with the development of integrated software tools f
 or the editing and manipulation of sounds and images. In this paper I illu
 strate these developments through the work of the UK-born but US-based rem
 ix trio Eclectic Method\, focussing in particular on the interaction betwe
 en their multimedia compositional procedures and the complex chains of ref
 erence that result\, in particular\, from their film mashups.\n\nProfessor
