Project

I am going to compose a new music piece for my interdisciplinary project "SmartMusic! An Audiovisual Adventure", which aims to provide a concert-wise narrative audiovisual experience. Longer than a song and shorter than a film, this new artistic device aims for new types of art-consuming and artist-public relationship. This audiovisual piece of art can be considered a short-film, being the music composed in such a narrative way that can be translated into an animated video design to tell us a story. My aim is to compose the music for the fourth piece of this project.
