The soundtrack to David and Gisela Gamper’s project, See Hear Now, as presented at Roulette for three nights in June 2008. The event was a true collaboration between image and light and sound, with the rhythms of each component reflected by or responded to by each artist: David Gamper (piano, small instruments, found objects, processing) and Gisella Gamper (multiple projectors and mirrors). David Gamper was a composer/performer/improviser and instrument/software designer who had a long collaboration with Pauline Oliveros and Stuart Dempster as part of the Deep Listening Band. Gisela Gamper is a photographer and real-time video collage artist focused on rhythm and color. In these excerpts we get a radio portrait of an immersive, even transcendent concert. There is a DVD release, See Hear Now: Visible Music, and YouTube episodes that capture the full multimedia experience.
