SUMMARY:Visual Music at UC Berkeley
DESCRIPTION:A while ago, composer Benjamin Irwin asked me to create a
  silent movie to be used as visual argument for a concert of improvise
 d music.\nWe were already involved with the preparation of another con
 cert, this time with music composed by Ben from/for/to my silent image
 s, a concert I will announce at a later date, so I gladly accepted.\nF
 or the evening of improvised music, I decided to create a piece by wor
 king with music I enjoy, but had never visited/listened to \"with my e
 yes.\"\nI picked the 2nd, 3rd and 4th movements of Steve Reich's \"The
  Four Sections,\" thinking that I would use that powerful music as a t
 emporary temporal structure, and go at it sketching loosely.\nI was wr
 ong!\nThat music is much too potent to be dealt with lightly, so it gr
 abbed my attention and would not let go until I had served it this way
 .\nI sent the video to Ben, convinced it would be deemed much too comp
 licated to be used for a live performance (thinking I would be asked t
 o \"simplify\" it), but again, I was wrong.\nBen and his colleagues to
 ok a look at it, practiced with it a few times, and decided to give it
  a go.\nUC Berkeley Graduate Composers and Improvisers Ensemble Ritwik
