An electro-acoustic group dedicated to free-improvisation as means to composition, meditation and sound journey, in collaboration with visual artist Morgan O’Hara who’s “drawings are a record, performed in real-time, of the vital movement of living beings.” http://www.youtube.com/watchv=awy3W_xFwYk

Morgan O’Hara:
”The LIVE TRANSMISSION drawings are a record, performed in real time, of the vital movement of living beings. They transcend both figuration and abstraction. I draw methodically with multiple razor-sharp pencils and both hands, as time-based performance, executing a direct neural transmission from one human action into another. I condense movement into accumulations of graphite line, which combine the controlled refinement of classical drawing with the unbound sensuality of spontaneous gesture. Time-space coordinates for each drawing are described with precision in the titles."
