Scribble is a composition scored for the Audiovisual Environment Suite, a set of five new artworks which allow people to create and perform abstract animation and sound in real time. These systems merge aspects of paint programs and musical instruments in order to yield inexhaustibly variable and personally expressive performances in both the visual and aural domains. In this debut of Scribble, a quartet of artist-musicians will bring forth sounds which are at times carefully scored, and at other times loosely improvised.

The vision of a medium which unifies the senses has a history spanning several centuries. My hope for Scribble is to bring to this history a provocative new statement about the sophistication and personality that it is possible for audiovisual instruments to have.
