Soundpainting is the multi-disciplinary sign language used for live composition, created by New York composer Walter Thompson.

To date, Soundpainting comprises more than 800 gestures and is being used by hundreds of professional artists worldwide for the live composition of music, theater, dance, and visual art. Soundpainting is also used all over the world by educators to teach group listening, ensemble building, improvisation, and live composition.
