Section: THE MAIN THEME
Abstract: Artistic collaborators Kate Ledger (pianist) and Ray Evanoff (composer) discuss their working process in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Conversation provides the model and impetus for this process, an ongoing responsive exchange in which their individual artistic identities co-evolve into forms neither could individually envision, in global circumstances that have acutely disrupted the normal mechanisms providing such social interaction. Artistic values, musical specifics, metaphorical frameworks, and larger references are examined, as well as the role these various elements serve in their art’s realization and evolution. Their model is an adaptive, personalized framework for making art responding to an environment where the conventional explanations for doing so have been undermined.
Keywords: Give, Covid-19 pandemic, transatlantic collaboration, pianist, composer
