 KAYAK is an electro-acoustic piece for solo violin, natural soundscapes, and processed sounds (drawn primarily from violin samples). In addition to reading a more traditionally notated score, the violinist is asked to move about the performance space, improvising with biophonic soundscapes. KAYAK can be performed indoors, with the audience seated, or outdoors, with the audience following along on the journey. View video excerpts.
