about
Transient is an audiovisual concert for two motorized pianos and video projections, performed by Quayola/Seta.
For the two artists, the project marks the beginning of a new collaboration on research and experimentation. For Quayola, internationally recognized media-artist, Transient is the very first music project.
Software especially developed for Transient allows Quayola/Seta to improvise with complex algorithms in real-time, generating compositions in a delicate anthropic and technological balance. Sound and images are simultaneously generated, creating perfectly synchronized synesthetic alliterations.
Transient refers to the heritage of classical music, here evoked by grand pianos, and the painting traditions, hypothesizing new sonic landscapes and visual polyphonies. Pianos and paintings are freed from hand gestures. Non-human virtuosity, composed through mathematical functions, animates the keys and the canvas, exploring new parametric
possibilities. Infinite notes and chromatic elements multiply and articulate themselves in unison.
Transient combines the harmony and tensions between human and technological, natural and artificial, organic and synthetic, generating pictorial and sonic compositions of an abstract naturalism.
Quayola/Seta’s approach to sound composition explores, on the one hand, the tensions and equilibriums between classical Minimalism and Impressionism, and on the other, the pattern-driven compositions in experimental electronic and techno music.
Transient is driven and influenced simultaneously and in synchrony by different narrative languages: from sound design techniques used in cinema to emphasize emotional narratives to interactive strategies used in gaming environments and data/digital/generative art.
