Developed
by Walter Thompson, Soundpainting is a live composing sign language for
musicians, dancers, actors, poets, and visual artists working in the medium of
structured improvisation. At present the
language comprises over 750 gestures that are signed by the composer/conductor
indicating the type of improvisation desired of the performers. Direction of the composition is gained
through the parameters of each set of signed gestures. James Ilgenfritz will
conduct the UCSD Soundpainting Ensemble performing accompaniment to two silent
films as well as entrance and exit music.
Preceding the performance will be a workshop with James on Soundpainting
and the relationship between improvisation and composition.
