Having a ball with the sphere

Robert Casteels has composed a growing corpus of more than 100 musical works cross cultures, genres and disciplines. These range from miniature to large-scale works in the European tradition, as well as multidiscipli- nary works which combine European, Chinese and Indian instruments, as well as the gamelan, together with computer-generated sound and images. Instances of space for creative interaction between the performers in these compositions have been far and few between. The work, time:space:, has unveiled new possibilities for interaction and a blurring the line between performer and composer creating an artistic interconnectivity and interdependency.
