"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
