EN / Together with GIOVANNI DI DOMENICO les ateliers claus presents “Piano, Forte”, a production that examines the various tonal qualities of two of the most used materials for instruments: wood and metal. Always bent & shaped after the image of their instrument, they're responsible for a certain timbre, mood and identity. Taking these two materials as a starting point, Giovanni designed instruments that lend themselves to express the characteristics of wood and metal. Plates, bowls and tubes are the ingredients of a surprising world of sound. The typical sounds of wood and metal will interact with more traditional instruments as the violin and the piano, this way engaging in an interesting dialogue. Together with Manja Ristic, Pak Yan Lau and Mathieu Calleja, Giovanni Di Domenico will perform for about 2 hours, with les ateliers claus as a giant sound box. An exceptional soundscape made from two of the oldest and most versatile materials in the world.
