WHAT IS POINT TO POINT?
Point to Point is a live painting performance. This performance is comprised of seven sections, each including sounds, music, and a text-to-speech narrator.
These elements, alongside my painting, will guide us through the lifecycle of a star.

SECTION 2:

WHAT IS POINT TO POINT ABOUT?
Point to Point includes themes of exploration, physics, life, death, spiritualism, origin, beauty, and existential
dread.
More structurally related
to the piece is the
experience of witnessing a full creative process. You will begin this evening staring at a blank canvas, and together, will end it in front of a finished painting, so fresh it's
still dripping.
Point to Point is
structured improv. I know where I'm going, but I'm not sure the route I'll
take.
WHAT AM I LISTENING TO?
A soundscape based in the sounds of the cosmos, and my own personal tastes.
Many of the sounds you'll
hear during this
performance are examples of Sonification, the process of turning data into sound. In our case that data is astronomical data, reflecting the innate music of nebulas, stars, and black holes.
ZONE OUT
OR
LEAN IN
There is a meditative component to this
performance. Many of the soundscapes you will hear are quite ambient.
Enjoy accordingly.
