Soundmorphosis
A dreamlike interpretation of the relationship between sound and image through improvisation and the interaction between a piano and a video console. A project created in collaboration with Danilo Rea — 2021
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 abstract images. 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.
Soundmorphosis is not a concert, but a sensory and emotional journey - a project born from the encounter between music and visuals that follow one another, transform, and blend into one another in a kaleidoscope of notes, shapes, and colors. – Adriana Tuzzo, Jazzit
The prevailing feeling, shared by both the stage and the audience, was that of witnessing an experiment that will have a lasting impact and could radically transform the production and appreciation of music and art. – Luigi Onori, Il Manifesto
