Classical Improvisation/Composition
Bio / Background
Improvisation has a long history in classical music. Until recently, it has been dead. To help bring it back to life I had been searching for the opportunity to compose a Soundpainting with classical musicians whose improvisation foundation is derived from the likes of Bach, Haydn, Beethoven, Stockhausen, Braxton and Ives. Ofcourse, I was immediately interested when Gil first contacted me about this project. We met several times to discuss the approach; the underlying direction of the three Soundpaintings would center around Gil as the pivotal force, his improvised choices influencing and eliciting the direction I would take the orchestra, and in turn, Gil would be Soundpainted and influenced by my responses to his choices - a continuous give and take.
In Soundpainting terminology any section of rehearsed and/or notated music is called a palette. I composed 24 palettes from Haydn's notation, representing the signature points of the Concerto.
