A/V Kids Experiment

I’ve had this real need to find a way to blend art and music together into one solid medium.  This was sort of an experiment in that idea.

So what we did was we took genius musicians Jason Rohler and Brian McGuire and surrounded them with all different kinds of instruments on the sidewalk of Biddle Gallery and let them go off. We also took Tom Jenkins and I and surrounded ourselves with material and canvasses and went off.  The idea was a complete collaborative effort using improv as the base.  The images were fuel by the music and the music was fuel by the images.

This proved to be not only interesting on an audio level but also on a visual level.  Seeing musicians playing two -three instruments at the same time is not something that happens often. There was amazing amounts of creative energy flowing; we could have worked all day, non-stop.  Unfortunately we ran out of sun light.
