Chroma
July 28, 2008
I have been working long hours for a new multimedia piece that Rob and I are planning to premiere in September. I think this is one of my most adventuresome pieces up to date. The piece’s working title is “Chroma.”
Chroma:chro·ma
1. the purity of a color, or its freedom from white or gray.
2. intensity of distinctive hue; saturation of a color
Without giving away too much, I’ve been creating a garment for this particular piece. It is not made of fabric or anything most people would think of as clothing material. The material is used rather extensively in the video as well. I have been obsessing over it, working on it non-stop for 2 days. I’ve been known to be a sewing fanatic. However in this particular case, no needles or thread! Stay tuned for more performance details!
Dear Ms Chen
I read about your Toy Pianos in the LA Times
It said you could listen to some of it at your web site. I didn’t find any place to do that.
I went to I-tunes they don’t seem to have any of that type of music. I would sure like to hear some examples without buying a CD intill I know the music.
Thank you
Bill Tuggle
Dear Bill,
