What does it mean to listen with the mind as well as the ears? A solo performance from the great avant-garde pianist.
Three workshops lead up to an open invitation to improvise with the festival as concert. The last four hours of the Sunday 14 at Instal 10 were devoted to presentations devised during the three workshops. The material conditions (time, space, facilities…) were the instruments. From there anything could happen.
An original and beautifully simple performed installation forging a direct link between sound and image.
