We are living exciting times in scientific research where our understanding of reality has been taken to the edge of our perception, but how does music as an art form address this new insight of things?
Miguel Crozzoli's SCI Music is an artistic research project that creates new perceptions of reality by finding and crafting synergies between non-conventional music composition and ground-breaking scientific discoveries.
Project Description
I was summoned to perform a stage design for a music composition about the stars, most precisely, neutron stars.
The venue: a 120 m² rectangular auditorium delimited by four amplifiers for quadraphonic sound. That squared space should hold an orchestra of 13 musicians, the jury and a part of the audience. After trying several materials through the prism of light, I chose bubblewrap because it gave a wide spectrum of patterns that evoked images from the space. Hence, I built and designed twenty bubblewrap curtains to create a semi-transparent boundary to contain the scene
I like to imagine how the space would be sensed by the audience, The curtains offered two different perspectives of the show depending on if you were seated in the front or behind them. In the side curtains, I projected images of astronomical phenomena, and for the background ones, I designed constellations with LED lights.
