DV East Asia Martial Arts Language Players: Mapping the Moving Body Through Time The DV Language ecosystem is an ongoing exploration of how music, movement, theatre and other time-based arts can be represented through readable, visual and synchronized language. The project began primarily with DV Music Language , where notes, chords, durations, instruments and simultaneous musical events can be written, visualized and played through a common temporal structure.

Most of this work has so far been concentrated on DV Music Language . Around it, I have developed an expanding ecosystem of players, composers, runners, learning tools and other experiments.
