sound design Fabio Sestili - electronics/pixelorchestra - production Quiet ensemble/Aesop studio
A continuous and ever-changing succession of music, orchestrated by a quintet of red fish in movement. Fluctuating vertically in five different tanks, each fish will "design" different and random sounds based on its position inside the aquarium. Quintetto is an installation based on the study of casual movement of objects or living creatures used as input for the production of sounds. The basic concept is to reveal the so-called "invisible concerts" of everyday life. The vertical movements of the five fish in the aquarium is captured by a videocamera that translates (through computer software) their movements in digital sound signals. There will be 5 different musical instruments creating a totally unexpected live concert.
