A follow up to this delightful event:
We had a great time - I played a few pieces inspired by nature, and there was nature-inspired art on the walls of a small and acoustically great art gallery.
Then Brent started painting according to what I was playing, and then he asked me to play according to what he was painting. The audience got drawn in to help paint, and when Brent made glitches I used the flute as a didge, getting hoots of laughter from the audience.
It was wonderful and we plan to do it again.
Here are some images:
