The artist Vladimir Tamari, who is based in Tokyo, recently did a visual interpretation of my American Indian inspired music. Like the Navajo painter David Chethlahe Paladin, Tamari “channels” the music and paints directly as he listens. He has produced a whole “painting the music” series representing composers from Bach and Vivaldi to Copland and Takemitsu. His new “African music” painting is particularly vivid. All can be viewed on his website. Here is what he envisioned of my music.
