Songs from the Divine Comedy
with Giovanni Sollima, Simon Shelley

Songs from the Divine Comedy is an interpretation of Dante's work in the form of multimedia performance by the composer Giovanni Sollima. Each movement of the piece has a related visual sequence of paintings, photos and body scans.

Images as if they were sounds - We designed and implemented an interface for Giovanni to play images as notes, to allow him to write the visual sequences using the language that is most natural for him: the standard score notation. A midi keyboard connected to a Mac is used to control the projection of images.
