Time will tell.... I'd like to hear something new my own self!
In a reverse way, I wouldn't say music videos added anthing musical to
music, only pictures of it. It's just a mediumistic combination of two
senses instead of one. This was the case with film too. We LIKE the
combination of sight and sound, but the sound can only color the picture
and the picture can only color the sound. They remain discreet and separate
relms of sense exploration that, yes, can be combined for a more complex
experience. As I said, all future explorations will reside in such
combinations. But sound is MUCH more limited than sight in my opinion and
we probably haven't reached the end of what visual work itself might
consist of or look like.
