About

In this performance, I conducted the Triangle Soundpainting Sextet in conjunction with and in response to Ricky Garni, reading from his work of poetry. Soundpainting is an improvisatory conducting language, where a soundpainter (a kind of conductor) gives gestural signals to the performers, who in turn interpret those signals to create an improvised piece in real time. No two performances are exactly alike.
