"The Liquid Piano" a new Video on You Tube
Hi folks,
I posted a video called "The Liquid Piano" at
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3_DnGzvg_w
Enjoy!
"The Liquid Piano" is an excerpt from a performance I did with Dave
Bryant (Ornette Coleman alumnus) on piano, and Eric Sack on camera.
Dancer Nicole Bindler makes a non-real-tine appearance, as does old
friend Margie (Greta) Canty. I run a monthly series called Visual
Music Live, at Outpost 186, a cozy performance space near Inman
Square in Cambridge, MA.
I brought 4 or 5 DVD players, 3 video mixers and a large number of
pre-made DVD's to mix, while Dave played the house piano and Eric
sent me a video feed with ample opportunities for feedback. The
performance was completely improvised --- the only preplanning was
starting out the set with imagery of water. This piece is taken from
the start of the set, hence the title.
My aim (both while performing and while preparing DVD's for use in
these performances) is to treat my visual materials
improvisationally, with the same attitude and some of the same
strategies that improvising musicians use. I try to create pieces
that are like music, but have both a visual and a sonic element
BTW Some of my photography can be viewed at
