Brushing Improvisation – N°2
Commissioned by and premiered at La Biennale di Venezia 2023, 67th International Festival of Contemporary Music
Brushing Improvisation – N°2 is a semi-composed improvisation that translates the brush’s material subtleties into sound and explores its cultural perception as a foundation for musical form. The piece utilizes the Brushing Interface, a self-made musical instrument that captures the sound and movements of brushing gestures in real-time. The formulation of the piece came from my deep inter-relation with the instrument as a maker and performer, which my body acts as a central role in this creative process.
This piece emphasizes the translation of the brush’s material subtleties and gestures into sonic expression through specific mediated technologies. Also, it explores the cultural perception of the brush, employing it as a structural element for musical improvisation. This dual focus fosters a seamless integration of theatricality, gestural performance, and the interplay between composition and improvisation.
