for Visual Music Artists, Writers, and Venues

A few years ago, Jean-Philippe Collard-Neven and I were preparing concerts based on an exploration of the trance, and Giacinto Scelsi’s music was very much part of those preparations (as well as Morton Feldman’s and John Adams’ and of course, Jean-Philippe’s magnificent improvisations: http://www.vudici.net/movies/Transe_Demo/Transe_languages.html).
This type of work exists outside of the "entertainment dependency” that seems to have invaded much of our cultural space (if interested, please read the following essay: http://blog.animationstudies.org/?p=1052), it requires from the viewers a willingness and an ability to delay gratification, to suspend judgement, to renew our inherent connection with “the appearing as it appears.”
