The Fournier/Walker Duo has been performing for over a decade. Over the years it has developed into a very unique ensemble, ranging from more traditional playing to a Daoist flow approach, in which no preconceptions are used.
Both Joe Fournier and Dave Walker are visual thinkers. Fournier’s award-winning political strip appeared in The Chicago Tribune and nationwide for around 15 years, some of which are in The Library of Congress. His current focus, aside from the duo, is on public art. Dave Walker is a much sought after, award-winning architect, whose work can also be seen nationwide.
The Performance
The performance is a series of Fournier’s animations and compositions, which run from fairly traditional composing, to sketches, to audience cellphone participation, as well as the aforementioned Daoist Flow playing. (The German’s have a word for this kind of multimedia performance, “Gesamtkunstwerk”. I don’t
know that we do. I suppose “amalgamation” is close.)
(Note to reader) The performance is nowhere near as uptight as this write-up might suggest. It’s actually quite engaging and a whole lot of fun!
