With the influences of Wassily Kandinsky, Paul Klee, Kurt Schwitters, Anthony Braxton and Helen Frankenthaler, abstract expressionist artist/composer Renee' Baker embarks on the journey to depict the obvious connection between visual art in the form of painted scores and music. She finds both mediums to be simple and accessible and the ability to evoke resonances and responses from instrumentalists when directed in focused comprovisations, opens an unworldly labyrinth of sounds. 

An open consciousness in the player exposes the heart and the essence of the painted works as the instrumentalists invent and reinvent the experience. The results may be austere or complicated..and neither response is preferred. 

An ancient sort of illumination invites the listener into an awareness of their own creative process.

In this performance/showing all works will be installed and performed intermittently throughout the events.- RB
