Virtual reality for the ‘representation’ of music. Which possibilities for inclusion? The experience of Crescendo-Naturalia e Artificialia

In the live performance CRESCENDO-Naturalia e Artificialia, presented in 2019 at the Innovation Day in Turin by a multidisciplinary team of artists and technicians, the sound of a piano is translated into a virtual landscape that changes concerning sound inputs. Music is graphically rendered in a synchronic and dynamic succession of image and videos. Starting from the close relationship between the visual dimension and perceived sound realized through this experience, the work intends to investigate what possibilities of interaction subsist between music and digital environments, with a view to psycho-sensorial inclusion.
