An improvisation that may or may not involve (typical) improvisation.
A beautifully crisp, slowly evolving duo for cello and projected images. Abstract but still figurative; change only noticeable after the fact.
What does it mean to listen with the mind as well as the ears? A solo performance from the great avant-garde pianist.
A parody of a (Manhattan) road movie and meditation on bifurcation, in paths traveled between the seen and the heard; a road trip played over and over from different perspectives.
