Powers^100: Music in honor of artist Richard M Powers

I created this composition/video in honor of the centennial of artist Richard M. Powers -- one of my biggest artistic influences, whose work has informed and inspired my music for many years. It is a new way I have been making music: turning improvisations into compositions, directly to the recording with no written or worked out music. I started by improvising a piece on the tenor sax -- just one take of about 5 1/2 minutes -- on Feb. 24, 2021, the centennial date. Then I built the piece around it, adding whatever sounds seemed appropriate from the instrumentarium of ScienSonic Laboratories, which is vast. After this was mixed and mastered, I created the video around it, using artworks from my collection of Powers paintings. I was pleased and proud that the video won First Prize in a competition for "creative saxophone expression" sponsored by the National Saxophone Museum. This video can be seen as a precursor to the multimedia centennial concert event I will produce at Roulette in NYC on Oct. 30.
