Description
“syn_” is a new version of Kurokawa’s previous diptych audiovisual concert piece called “cm: av_c”.
Concept
“‘syn’ is a Greek prefix meaning: ‘together, with, integrated’. It means feeling several different things happening at the same time as a sole one.
This work emphasizes some elements more than in the previous work ‘cm: av_c’. Those elements are: synchronization, synthesis, synopsis, and synesthesia. But while the recent concert pieces ‘Rheo’ or ‘Parallel Head’ are to be treated as ‘cinema’, this work should have much more to do with ‘music’ instead.
It is not something to digest gradually with the head, but something to be directly stimulated by and to feel simultaneously with the eyes and ears. The sounds and images could automatically integrate visual and auditory perception as they induce the synesthetic experience.” (Ryoichi Kurokawa)
