Developing and performing "Experimental" and "improvisational" music (my favorite phrase for it is "Sound Music") has become an opportunity for me to try to connect musical energy with whatever is happening at the venue where the event is taking place. Promoting that exchange is the motivating challenge of me.
Improvisation with Myer Hirsch
Hirsch and I explored following a narrative guide as we improvised at our Kava Lounge gig.
The Sound Music Suit
The Sound Music Suit project grew out of my interest in sound waves as a type of sculpture.
The label "Sound Music" makes sense to me because I can mount any object on the suit (machine parts, feathers, etc.) as well as trigger sounds with sensors. As a result, any sound in the world that is appropriate to the sculpture that emerges when the sound suit is in action can be incorporated.
