Soundpainting is the live composing sign language created by New York composer
Walter Thompson for musicians, dancers, actors, poets, and visual artists working
in the medium of structured improvisation. At present the language comprises
over 750 gestures that are signed by the Soundpainter indicating the type of
improvisation desired of the performers. Direction of the composition is gained
through the parameters of each set of signed gestures.
The Swedish Soundpainting Orchestra.
