Is my pianoforte forte or piano?
It used to be an acoustic grand piano. But then it became electric, as well as electroacoustic, with digital influences, it sure did.
Around this piano:
2 pianists, several high and low technologies and a dancer that makes you want to pay attention.
The pianists add sounds, video animations and gestures, mixing and remixing real time into surreal time.
Live musical dance for each sense to enjoy, adding connections between listeners who share the same acoustic space.
