For many years, Pavlos Antoniadis has been working on the development of an interface that uses motion tracking to convert into sound the slightest movement made by a pianist. His performance focusses on the result of this project, a large-scale work incorporating video and artificial intelligence entitled “你們是蟲子” (You Are Bugs) – an homage to Liu Cixin, for piano, R-IoT sensors and AI agents.
The idea of interaction between music and mathematical models is also reflected in three other works in the programme: “Tiento del Tercer Tono” by the late-Renaissance Spanish composer Antonio de Cabezón (1510-1566), Horaț iu Rădulescu's Piano Sonata No. 4 – a poetic interpretation of the physical qualities of sound – and the Berlin premiere of “ALGOL” by post-war avant-garde classical composer Nicolaus A. Huber. Huber's work is inspired by the written correspondence between C. G. Jung, the founder of psychoanalysis, and quantum physicist Wolfgang Pauli. The programme also includes the virtuoso piece “NO” by exiled Russian composer Dmitry Burtsev.
The programme concludes with “…Sofferte Onde Serene…” (1977) for piano and tape by Luigi Nono, one of the greatest visionaries in the history of music, who would have been 100 this year. The piece is a fusion between the pianist and an electronic soundscape, and was written for and dedicated to the pianist Maurizio Pollini, who died this year.
