Usaginingen

Usaginingen

HARPA | Reykjavík Concert Hall & Conference Center Room

The concept behind this visual music piece is the Birth of Earth.

The usaginingen team invented their own machines seeking to delight and suprise their audience, as people not only can enjoy the performance on the screens, but also feel the light explosions all around them, and witness the performers' movements on stage.

The Visual machine "TA-CO" has a camera, a kind of an animation table with four layers, water-basins, coloured ink, beads, mirrors, prisms, and lots more.

The Music machine "SHIBAKI" is some kind of a percussion kit, connected to a MIDI controller and to a string instrument.
