Audiovisual performance night with: 

  • Tatsuru Arai - Arkhitek-ton
    This performance “Arkhitek-ton” is a new Sound-Visual work, based on Tatsuru Arai's algorithm system, which adds innovation to the principle of Serialism three-point: "structural", "complex" and "noisy". The algorithm sound is generated by state-of-the-art technology such as Artificial Intelligence, rather than by native human intelligence only.

  • Microseq (Pandelis Diamantides) - False Awakenings
    "False Awakenings" is a blend of abstract rhythmical patterns, evolving ambient landscapes and detailed sound design. Audible generative structures provide the canvas for a visual interpretation of time - motion and memory. As a measure of disorder an immersive audiovisual world is created, a temporal construct of bass, light and colour.
      

Tatsuru Arai is a composer, sound and visual artist. He studied composition in Tokyo (BA/MA) and Berlin(MA). His works are performed in Germany, UK, Switzerland, Denmark, Sweden, France, Argentina, Mexico, Japan etc. His main artistic Thema is to integrate from classical compositions to new technology, and to present the fundamental physical nature of the universe in the form of perceptional experiences, that could say aesthetics of “geometric structure”. The human perception of sound, a physical phenomenon, influences human beings and the “geometric structure” is a fundamental pillar that allows us to understand the true nature of the universe. Creating a way to experience even a part of the nature of the universe through sound.
