A Small Oil Painting of a Nest

Rodrigo Constanzo

Proceedings of the International Conference on New Interfaces for Musical Expression

Abstract

A Small Oil Painting of a Nest is a 10 minute improvised performance that explores the sinew that connects the current now to the unrelenting sequence of nows that preceded it. This happens both at a microscopic level, using the different temporal perspectives of events to determine locality, and again at a macroscopic level to architect gesture and form through memory and ephemerality.
