Sawtooth, by Christopher Burns (2009) audiovisual improvisation

Sawtooth (2009) integrates performance, sound, and image. Physical gestures in space are captured by a video camera, and translated simultaneously into both music and animation. As the action becomes more complex, the software underlying this process also begins to make autonomous contributions, adding new layers of audiovisual density, and creating new challenges for the performer.

This video (made 2009.08.06, camera by Brent Coughenour) documents a complete performance of Sawtooth by Christopher Burns in a single, unedited take.
