From Japan to SL

Visited LEA December exhibition, Konnected Piano by Marx Catteneo. A huge art with many bars floating in the air. It was hard to take picture since it looked same from any angle. I shot some with changing lighting.

I think that any object can make an art if there is a lot of it. I have seen some, but this could be the highest number. About three thousands of bars are piano strings respectively and generate sounds by touching it. The black spot at the middie is me.




It is easy to play sounds by flying with a hemisphere provided at the center stage. It was said that the sounds were sampled from 92 piano keys, but normally a piano has only 88 keys, and an exception is 97 keys of Besendorfer with low keys for resonance. So the piano modeled after could be a customer built? The tones that were generated by flying around are mainly C, E, and A, including D, G, or H for the rare occasion, providing a music in a minor key. It may be hard to tune three thousand keys individually, but it could have been more interesting if the chord or range were different according to the flying area or height.
