Hommage a Jackson Pollock (1912-1956) – Living life as a synesthete, Pollock’s work has always fascinated me. Looking at these huge canvases, for me, is like setting off an explosion of sound in my head. For this work, I wanted to try to represent that aurally. Using his painting Convergence as a model, I assigned the various colors present in that work to different musical sonorities. Then, I literally traced a path through the painting, and translated the painting into music. The material on the looper represents the white/gray background, with the played material representing everything else sitting on top of it.
