Recursive Presence

music video for dance and electroacoustic ensemble
co-composed with yaTande Whitney V. Hunter

About

“Recursive Presence” is inspired by African fractals and processes of recursion that exist organically in nature, mathematics, sound patterns, and particularly in the weaving traditions of West African textiles. Recursion, as embodied by dancers and musicians, offers clear thematic connections between the past, present and future, asking, where one ends and the other begins. These corporeal and sonic manifestations question how these time-states convey meaning and offer stability.
