DEFINITION
As with any project, research is a core element in establishing the insight into where any project's end result is determined. The amount of information compiled assured the theme and content in which DECAY'D began and was due to two areas of such research.
Videographer - a person who works in the field of videography, video production — recording moving images and sound on video tape, disk and other electro-mechanical devices.
Audiographer - is responsible for the production of sound recording, dialogue editing, sound design, sound effects editing, ADR (Automated Dialogue Replacement) editing, Foley editing and sound mixing (dubbing).
Both have unique qualities and when used in an artistic vein can distort and embellish a composition to a point that renders the end result unrecognisable in a sense that it then belongs to a new creative genre.

Inspirational visual artists -
Ryoichi Kurokawa is a young audiovisual artist from Osaka (in Japan). He mixes vibrant and refined universes together into clips, albums, installations and performances, where glitch minimalism breaks up and re-assembles in more complex and vertiginous structures.
Kurokawa was born in 1978 in Osaka. In 1999, he started creating and presenting audiovisual works, installations and screenings in various art, music and film festivals. In the meantime, he started performing live with his audiovisual cross-media concerts and released CDs and DVDs. Read more
