In a spirit of call-and-response, Jody expresses the time, extent, and volume of Mark’s sound in layers with gradients of colour, tone and materials. Thus the storyline and flow of her marks articulate a progression from foreground to background and return, and allows a concertina effect of shifting leads between artist and musician.

This performance in real time moves beyond conventional music graphic notation, where scores are predetermined prior to performance and time/duration has already been prescribed, and becomes the art in itself recorded digitally as well as drawn on paper.
