Improvisation, for Pauline is an improvisational electronic music performance by composer/improvisers Curtis Bahn and Thomas Ciufo, who design, build, and perform on computer extended instruments. This work represents the unique intersection of interactive systems design, sensing technologies, computer extended instrument building and crosscultural improvisational performance practice. These dynamic and evolving sound spaces live somewhere between foreground and background, between action and stillness, between concrete, remembered, and imagined. More than anything, these sound spaces invite us to listen deeply and to contemplate our relationship to sound, place, each other, and the sound world we inhabit / create. These performances are dedicated to our dear friend, collaborator, and colleague, Pauline Oliveros. You may hear sounds from Pauline, as we utilize sonic materials from previous performances we have each shared with her - Dear Pauline, we are still listening!
