Dichotomia Tactus is a collaborative project developed by multimedia composer and performer Carmen Kleykens Vidal and the contemporary pianist and researcher Carolina Santiago.
It consists of a series of compositions for piano and multimedia to resignify the pianist's gesture.
Through different setups and softwares as the Light Wall System (LiSiLoG), sensors and electronic sound, the artists create a concert programme based on deconstructing the musical gesture in the piano.
Dichotomia Tactus reflects on the relationship between listening and touch and the dichotomy between these senses. It is manifested through a game of dualities: light vs darkness, visible/invisible, audible/inaudible, corporeal and ethereal.
What exactly are we listening when we see a pianist?
To what extent we adjust our perception to a preconception of the reality?
