The Altro Suono festival continues on Sunday 15 May at 8.30pm with the premiere of the new multimedia performance by Klaus Obermaier, an internationally renowned artist presented by the Teatro Comunale di Modena in the context of Modena UNESCO City of Media Arts. The performance follows "FACELESS_VOICELESS", presented in 2017 at MACRO - Museo d'Arte Contemporanea in Rome, and will see Obermaier perform a new immersive creation realised through live interaction between sound, movement, gesture, voice and images.

The work is part of an ever-expanding series resulting from many years of artistic research. The artist's interest has turned in particular to non-verbal communication realised through facial expressions, body language and paralanguage, and the human body as an interface between the real and the virtual, as an object of constant redefinition and reinvention. Another series of works makes use of more abstract generative computer graphics, with electronic soundscapes using various techniques - physical simulations, 3D renderings, live cameras - interacting with sounds and gestures in real time. The musical realisation is the result of a system using different components such as synthesisers, sound generators of various kinds. Many sounds and images are created and manipulated live by the artist on stage.
