Sound Painting ( Soundpainting ) is a sign system for improvisational composition, developed in 1974 by New York composer Walter Thompson for use by musicians, dancers, actors, poets and artists. Currently, the sound-paint system uses more than 1200 characters, each of which can be submitted to performers by a sound-painter, that is, a team leader. Each gesture indicates the type of action that performers must perform. The composition is controlled by changing the parameters for each group of characters.
