MEZZOCIELO

Matteo Bevilacqua – piano performance
musiche di S. Prokofiev; G. Ligeti

What do you think about while playing?
This is the question that inspired pianist and performer Matteo Bevilacqua in creating MEZZOCIELO, an experience where the musician’s mind generates images.
While performing classical and contemporary pieces on the piano, Matteo wears an EEG neural headset that records his brain activity.
An advanced software translates these signals into visual art, creating a synergy between mind, music, and image: drawing while playing becomes reality.
