'Feed the Monster' explores the piano as a living entity. The instrument behaves almost like a sentient being - a 'monster' - capable of swallowing the external sounds, digesting them, and ultimately spitting them out in a new, reimagined form. The interplay between the piano and the five spatialised musicians of the ensemble creates a captivating dialogue wherein each sound contributes to a larger narrative that blurs the lines between composition and improvisation. This spontaneous living energy resonates throughout the images that seize the material and immaterial nature of sound within an immersive twilight atmosphere.

Technique
Instruments are amplified and projected in the piano (activated with Vibration Speakers) using wireless systems.
This project gives rise to a staging that exploits the capabilities of the concert hall in which it is performed : spaces, instrument placement and spatialisation, amplification and movement of the musicians within the space and their sound projection.
