WATER PERCUSSION #

Video of the performance during WATERGAME

On the occasion of the exhibition the young artist choose to use water as a sound source, as a flux of composition.
This installation proposes a choreography made by resonant objects, a spatial organization of sound-effect instruments. A device can be used by the audience to compose sound environment thanks to different parts of the piece that they can stimulate.In the middle and inside the volumes some jets are set up, little sprinklers throw water against the sides and produce noises, rhythms, which sound separately or together. The water, projected on different substances and vibrating shapes, reveals the own acoustic characteristics of each object and creates an environment made by sounds organized in landscape and time.
