visual piano with Uli Mitzlaff at lumina, Cascais

This german artist proposes us some serious entertainment. An abstract language of lines, spots and dynamic plans which represent visually music activated by the artist through a MIDI keyboard. Committing the audience in the performance by creating various graphic patterns that expands the geometry of the surrounding architecture, just as the thundering winter approaches in a manipulated and controlled chaos by the artist.

Conceived in collaboration with Philipp Rahlenbeck, this artwork subsists in a device that allows the artist to fill spaces in real time with visual elements without resorting to pre-fabricated clips. Pure live visual music!
