Live Video Ensemble

Live Video Ensemble is a live generative video project conceived by Claudio Sinatti and performed by a 10 element ensemble together with a musician. The shows follow a 2/4 day workshop in which 10 people are prepared for the execution of the performance.

During the show the musician and the ensemble compose a single, abstract, completely improvised, yet perfectly synced, audio-video stream. The visual track is performed in real time, using a custom generative software.

Images are controlled by the ensemble through a set of midi instruments connected to a single computer. The software receives the music and the performers can link it to different image parameters as well as controlling the scene manually. The result is a highly organic audiovisual show in which the sounds seem to be produced directly from the images.
