Piano Migrations II at Concrete and Glass Festival
Piano Migration II: Video responsive instrument.Curated by Lumin, as part of the Concrete and Glass Festival,
The inside of an old upright piano, rescued from destruction, is transformed into a light activated instrument. Video projections move across the surface of the piano strings, triggering small machines to twitch and flutter causing the strings to resonate. For one night, this installation becomes a site for performance. Video projections activate the piano strings, and simultaneously provide a graphic score for improvisation. Audio-visual artist Kathy Hinde is joined by laptop musician Matthew Olden, cellist Simon McCorry and multi-instrumentalist Nahum Mantra to present a performance where image becomes sound and sound becomes image through a series of transformations realised through acoustic sound, live sampling, automata and projections.
