For over one year, composer Burt Levy and I collaborated to produce a music and visual performance work with sixteen participants. In rhyming our two media we produced a series of musical compositions or what might loosely be called “scores” such as these. The compositions were enlarged to create two U-shaped installations bracketing the audience and became maps for the performers which they transformed over the three performances.
