Conducted Improvisation

Four Plus One are performances that utilise Sono-Kinetic Conducting, a lexicon of hand gestures and baton movements developed for the Australian Art Orchestra by Artistic Director Aaron Choulai. This allows a conductor to compose in real-time by communicating complex compositional ideas to facilitate structured, spontaneous, improvised compositions.
