CrossSound's Singing Pictures, was the result of two years of collaborations between composers and filmmakers/video artists from around the world. Outstanding musicians from Juneau, Sitka, and Ketchikan, Alaska were joined by guests from the Cavani String Quartet, the Flagstaff Symphony, the Seattle Symphony, and the Met Orchestra to perform world premieres of works by composers from Alabama, Germany, Japan, Korea, and Alaska to the silent videos of artists from Germany, Montana, New York, Ohio, and Seattle, Washington. After the Alaska premiers, the program as a whole was performed again in Chicago in 2002, and in parts in Berlin, Seoul, London, Honolulu, Temecula, New York, Kansas City, and elsewhere. CrossSound is proud to announce the inclusion of the entire program again as part of "MoMa in Berlin" in 2004 to be performed by the oldest and most established contemporary music group in Berlin, the ensemble UnitedBerlin, which is made up primarily of orchestra members from the orchestra of the Komische Oper.

Theo Lipfert, curator for the visual part of the show emphasizes the collaborative aspect: "In 'Southeast Singing Pictures,' composers do not write a musical work 'about' a video, and video artists do not create 'music videos.' Each team member has figured how to work together to create elements that are not subordinate to the creative work of the other member. Each collaborators' contribution is completely interwoven into the work of the team as a whole."

"It has been a great pleasure to work with CrossSound. They are uniquely rooted in their local community, and strongly connected to the larger creative world ."
