Step into a world where music and space merge. In the dark, only sound guides your way: a sensory experience you shape yourself, from within.
The music of the Renaissance plays with space. At times, you hear undulating, polyphonic sounds surrounding you; at others, a musical call-and-response unfolds between two choirs — just as Giovanni Gabrieli once made it resound for the first time in San Marco, Venice. Composers of the Renaissance and the Middle Ages explored not only tonality and harmony, but space itself.
Paul Van Nevel invites you to join this play of space and time, guided by works of composers such as Antoine Brumel and Johannes Ciconia. Few can unearth such hidden gems from the darkest corners of music history as he can — revealing, for instance, the work of an anonymous Cypriot composer.
The singers move freely through the space, performing from ever-changing positions. As a listener, you choose your own place to experience the music. Once it begins, the lights fade. Only the glowing scores remain to guide you.
