Art as research

My collaboration with visual artist Barbara Philipp started with a simple scheme of ‘improvisation’ and ‘conversation’ between music and visual arts. From that starting point we developed an effective and inspiring artistic/ reflective process and method of research that follows some clear steps. It is worthwhile writing it down to make the working process concrete.

Improvisation in sound and image

On September 5, 2007 Helena Gaunt and I collaborated with painter Liselot Schut in an improvisation in image and sound. This post shows excerpts from the film that was made out of this collaboration, and I share some of my thoughts on this kind of interdisciplinary improvisation.

Sounds of white paper

Today I worked with the visual artist Barbara Philipp. She is a painter and performance artist from Austria now living in the Netherlands. I have a cello, a bow and a voice. She has lots of white paper, some paint, some pencils and sometimes also rope to create lines and connections. There is also a video camera. Sometimes the camera is just lying down and taking the sound, sometimes it is completely integrated as an instrument alternately in my or her hand.
