Victo 40th Anniversary Super Sale. My impetus for founding this sixteen-piece orchestra was based on the desire to have a hybridized, inter-cultural, electronic-friendly, inter-media orchestra that could perform my compositions. In addition, I was developing specific techniques involving composition, improvisation, and conduction that involved the entire body in conducting, similar to the conducting methods of my Japanese Gagaku teacher. For example, I carved out the shape of a sine wave with one arm and with the other arm angled a square wave, signaling to the electronic musicians to generate white noise - which is sine and square waves together. Transitions from the string quartet to the grunge players could be sharp with edit-like transitions signaled in the conducting. All the while, the conducting would be performed using the fluidity of tai chi movements.
