“t” is a trio, but also a quartet.
3 musicians – Strufaldi (piano), Gherardi (tabla) and Rosati (live electronics) – interact with self-constructed and programmed robots that perform music inside the piano. The research gravitates around the concept of Time in all its possible forms.
The perception of time as humans, the construction of a “mechanical time” by robots and algorithms, the interaction between different layers and time interpretations: these are the main features of this project.
The musicians perform and play, interacting and improvising with the robots, using self-designed software, and a led light system that react and follow the performance, creating a unique stage atmosphere to picture a reflection on different physical and philosophical aspects of “time”.
