| Collisions | Masses and Sea Motions Video Collisions from Italy just released a new amazing Music Film called Masses & Sea Motions. "We want to share our music through a sensorial journey, magic and unusual, beyond ordinary sound and video experiences touching heart and mind of the spectator." Collisions Collisions is a cybernetic utopia became real with a unique interactive computer music technology created by Leonello Tarabella (saxophonist and computer music researcher at the National Council of Research in Italy), combined with the organic and versatile drumming of Alessandro Baris (musician and composer known for his works and collaborations with L'Altra, Comfort, Young Boy, The Somnambulist, Caboto). The two very different sound worlds melt together creating a huge range of differently shaped sound landscapes, which take the audience through a musical and visual journey for heart and mind. Masses And Sea Motions is a live perfoming video shooted in the amazing and evocative location of Theatre of Silence in Tuscany; born from a Collisions idea it has been realized with the collaboration of director Davide Abate and producer Francesca Holsenn, inspired by videos as Godfrey Reggio's "Koyaanisqatsi", Beach House "Forever Still" and Pink Floyd "Live at Pompei" with such a high quality production and a great impact which makes it comparable to those videos. Masses And Sea Motions is made of solid and brilliant grooves supporting a texture of synthesizers and dreamy melodies, creating an evocative crescendo. From sunset to twilight the music spreads all over the place brought by a dinamyc and versatile drumming melted with digital sounds performed through a unique and spectacular computer music interactive technology, developed by Tarabella, which consists of two gesture recognition systems: the first one is called Palm Driver and is a device that consists on infrared beams which detects the distance of different parts of the palms of the hands thus getting information based on heights and rotations of the hands. The second system is called Handel and is based on real-time processing of grabbed video images. A video projector creates background scenarios where the performer places and moves his hands. In both the systems the information produced is sent to a computer creating an interactive computer music performance by controlling sound processing and sound synthesis programs both affecting melody, timber or effects. An involving journey enriched by a creative video editing led by the eye of a drone camera.
