Abstract

The author describes his discovery that people making freely improvised sounds create a form of tribal music that can be played by every human being on earth. That discovery led him to stage a series of projects that drew participation from hundreds of people in dozens of countries. All these projects were open to everyone, flexible in size, open to all sounds, organically and spontaneously directed, and professionally recorded as conceptual art and documentary music for distribution, evaluation and enjoyment. The author’s intent in his work is to transcend traditional geographic and cultural divisions in the world in order to develop art forms that extend the limits of participation, art and telecommunications.
