Leonardo in Locarno [
Locarno]
Leonardo in Locarno; a concert by Emanuel Pimenta :: Locarno, Switzerland :: September 16 - 23, 2007.
The Italian historian Marino Vigan recently announced an astonishing discovery: the Swiss city of Locarno has the only extant building designed by Leonardo da Vinci. The city invited the composer Emanuel Dimas de Melo Pimenta to create a new concert to celebrate the 500 years of Leonardo’s architectural project. Pimenta based his new piece on Leonardo’s drawings, which were transposed into virtual environments. The music will last for seven days and will be performed in the most unexpected places of the city. The audience is invited to take a walk and discover the different sounds. Participation is free and a map will orient the auditors through the spaces where the music is performed. The concert is made in association with ALCHIMARTE of Locarno and ASA Art and Technology of London.
Virtual music score, digital images, composition: Emanuel Pimenta :: editor: Laura Pimenta :: lab and recording: ASA Art and Technology, London.
