​
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?
