PIANOFORM :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: audio / video mix set

Pianoform is a set inspired by the sound of the piano. A set influenced by a high grade pianistic content is conceived between a live and dj set. A fusion between rigorous time lacking sounds and abstract contemporary sonorities. A mosaic of meandering sounds enriched by it’s composition by the flowing of the rhythm. Sonic debris and melodic fragments appear and disappear at the borderline between emotion and perception. A toy piano which Fräulein Amelie uses live in this piano set, ironizes in console the eternity of the piano.

The specially designed visual part of Pianoform, will be presented with a projection on a perforated screen. Optical and illusory mechanisms realized in the video come to the fore through the perforation of the screen and recall the aesthetic based on the rationality and the cyclic movement of the constructivism in the 60 ie’s. Colours, real and imaginary geometries, chromatisms, lights and shadows play on the ambiguity of the perception of sound and image.
