soundpainting no. 1 is an interdisciplinary art piece that uses concepts of form in both music and painting--shape, rhythm, timbre, color, dynamics--to inform the overall composition. Having been inspired by works like Paul Klee’s Fugue in Red (itself directly linked to Klee’s admiration for the music of J.S. Bach), this diptych was created in the Abstract Expressionist style. 5 years later it was revisited, translated into a piece of sound art which reinterprets its compositional structure via an improvised piano solo with post-recording manipulations.
