Arcangelo Corelli's Concerto "Fatto per la Notte di Natale” magnificently performed in concert by Quadro Janas (Sardinia, 2007).
I first created a work in progress while listening to that music "with my eyes.”
I extracted almost 4 thousand images from it and posted them in 4 albums on Facebook.
Then I made an image sequence with those images, and used it to “augment” the work in progress, culminating in this "Quadro Janas & Corelli” movie.
My work is made to create a dialog between images and music which leaves a space in which viewers can enter, and this often requires that the images and the music do not mimic each other.
