ISOLT
piano recital with live electronics and live video, remembering Marcel Proust
2021-2022
ISOLT is a musical journey around Proust, but also around the human perception of time and memories. How illusory is our human time experience? How do we live with our memories? How does the past come back, when, under which circumstances? ISOLT is a piano ritual/recital with live electronics and live video, remembering Marcel Proust, with short pieces by Debussy, Dupont, old masters cherished from Proust and music from his future, especially from the master of time, Ligeti. With live electronics and live video, to go further in disturbing experiences as well as visualisation of the time of Proust today. The visuals mix French footage from the 1900’s with contemporary layers.
