On Thursday November 10th at 5pm, I'll be giving a talk to
accompany a solo exhibition at Georgia Southern University. The show
will feature the latest iterations in the Tonal Relativity series, most
as works on canvas. Sixteen pieces will serve as visual illustrations of
sonic relationships within a 12-tone musical system.
Throughout
my own life, the kind of egalitarian, intuitive, non-verbal
communication that comes out of sonic improvisation with one or more
fellow earnest listeners/musicians/soundmakers has inspired much of my thinking and and efforts in all realms.
This project was developed as a way to improve my own skills as an
improvisor and listener, and to help me to overcome habitual ways of
thinking and seeing. I hope that others – musicians and non-musicians
alike – may also use it to discover new pallets of possibility.
This video offers both an audio and visual demonstration of the first
six intervals in the series:

There is much, much more to come...
