Mega Touch

Music is invisible. And when the music is over, there is no evidence that it ever existed, except in the mind of the listener. This installation visualises and gives a shape to music by the touch of your fingers. A large interaction surface, divided into 400 sections that all trigger different musical loops and animations that choreographically express the music in that position. This is not an instrument to perform or to master. This is an instrument to explore. Touch and find musical bits that sound good together. And when you do so, don’t forget to listen. 3 touch screens, 3 computers, 6 loudspeakers and a software that synchronise all musical and visual loops into one collaborative dance.
