Daryl Shawn and Jim Goodin, Chinapainting, November 4th
Chinapainting is orchestrated by composer/guitarists Daryl Shawn (Oaxaca, Mexico) and Jim Goodin (Brooklyn, NY). These two musicians have never met or played together in person, but came to know each other when Jim contacted Daryl through a Web-based forum on the art of "looping". Looping is a process of repeating and layering phrases of music on top of each other, forming a canvas of sound and texture through digital, analog or even mechanical means. All of the music is improvised.
Chinapainting was born through several web-based performances that were made possible by an Internet software tool called Ninjam , which allows two or more computers in different locations to send and receive musical data in real-time with minimal delay.
