Interactive performance: Scribe, Send, Sound – Bumbershoot Visual Art Poster

Dear Friends,
Hope all are well. Next week I’m continuing with my series of interactive performances by presenting Scribe Send Sound.
       
Audience members will be invited to send stories, poems and other writing to the band, before and during the show. New compositions will be created based on the messages received. Writers will also be invited to bring laptops and other mobile devices and write. The hope is to provide a space to create. Wi-Fi will be available during concert.

Paul Rucker: Cello, Double Bass
Hans Teuber: Saxophone
Eric Eagle: Drums

I’ve been asked to create this year’s Bumbershoot Fine Arts poster, which will also be a graphic musical score. “Sustenance” is a combination of photos and music notation, where the raindrops are musical notes and the clouds are phrase markings used in musical notation. A representation of a three-movement composition, it consists of contrasting parts titled nourishment, endurance and strength. The accompanying musical composition will be available as a free download beginning a week prior to the Festival. I’m honored to be part of this 40-year tradition, which has included some amazing artists.

If you can make it to the show next week, it would be great to see you. I’ll have a more complete update soon.

Many thanks,
Paul

Paul Rucker

As an interdisciplinary artist, I combine mediums. I find inventive ways to integrate live performance, sound, original compositions, and visual art. The music I create on cello involves extended technique, prepared cello and electronics. My compositional style ranges from improvised to strictly notated. My visual artwork incorporates infrared beams, lasers, touch pads, glass instruments, sound, video, photography, animation, and large-format printing.
