This piece explores the potential for the signifying act to re-frame improvisation and interaction within a classical framework. It ‘signifies’ on the musical ideas from Bartok, Stravinsky and Webern, repurposing and recontextualising them as tools for musical interaction. The ideas become timbrally, rhythmically and harmonically distinct and form a new sonic whole that exists in tension with the original(s).
