Soundpainting is a form of living composition where the composer-conductor uses gestures to make music and performance art in real time. You may attend this session as an absolute beginner (you do not even need to be a musician) that doesn’t know any of the gestures.
Hosted each month by two Soundpainting-conductor hosts, these sessions will cover a variety of live composition topics and concentrating on different disciplines; acting, dancing/movement, lighting design, visual art, music, electronic music are all possible topics for discussion. Join us every last Sunday 2-5pm. Soundpainting hosts include Mark Lindberg, Evan Mazunik, Gil Selinger, Yeonathan Shachar, Dennis Shafer, Tomi Tsunoda, Sarah Weaver, and Leese Walker, each leaders of their own Soundpainting ensembles in New York.
This February 23rd session we are lucky to have composer and woodwind improvisor Etienne Rolin from Bordeaux, France, who will join forces with Tomi Tsunoda, theatre director/Soundpainter. Both Rolin and Tsunoda teach and perform as Soundpainters around the world, and have been working with live composition methods for decades.
