Soundmorphosis

[Το κείμενο διατίθεται μόνο στα Αγγλικά] THE PROJECT

audio video performance for acoustic piano and video console with Danilo Rea, supported by Meet Digital Culture Center

In dialogue with Danilo Rea, among the foremost pianists on the international jazz scene, Soundmorphosys is the audiovisual performance supported by Meet Digital Culture Center, based entirely on improvisation and inspired by a sequence of dreamlike visions. A grand piano, a digital console and a large screen in the center of the stage generate a unique narrative that blends music and images in a continuous exchange of open suggestions. A journey to the roots of two profoundly different languages. Two minds, two arts, one shared dream.

Press:
"Soundmorphosis is not a concert, but a sensory and emotional journey, a project born from the encounter between music and visuals that follow, transform and dissolve into each other in a kaleidoscope of notes, shapes and colors." – Adriana Tuzzo, Jazzit

"The widespread feeling among stage and audience was that we were in the presence of an experiment that will have a long sequel and may radically transform production and enjoyment of music and art." – Luigi Onori, Il Manifesto

THE SHOWCASE

Paolo Scoppola recounts the genesis of the project through videos, images and testimonies, dwelling on the conceptual and artistic aspects and also going into the technical details of the video performance, especially the implementation of the software based on open framework. Finally he gives a brief demonstration of the functioning of the interaction between images sounds by simulating the piano with an audio track and showing on screen how the generation of graphic content is done through software and console.
