ea is a photo-electro-acoustic project instigated by Gill Arno (b, Italy), Richard Garet (b, Uruguay), André Gonçalves (b, Portugal), Andy Graydon (b, Hawaii, USA), Ben Owen (b, USA), and Gil Sanson (b, Venezuela). While the interests and approaches of each participant vary widely, everyone generally works within the idiom of computer-processed natural and instrumental sounds, and with the interrelation of the visual environment with the aural environment through slide, film, and video projections. The group’s involvement is open and evolving, always incorporating new forms and dividing into smaller focused specialties. EA works with improvisations as well as with rules-based scores written by individual participants. Performances alternate between large group improvisations and practiced scores drawn from the group’s repertoire, often played by smaller units of the group. In keeping with this evolving paradigm, the acronym EA does not refer to any fixed phrase.
