 At the Cambria. A Lo-Fi improvised emotional field recording.
On Friday the 18th of May 2018 my friend Johan Petti, a very skilled photographer, and I met at the Cambria, an old pub in south London. There’s a piano in the room upstairs. While he was taking pictures of me I started improvising at the piano and recorded everything around us, using just my Zoom H4n recorder: his camera shutter clicks, my music, his steps, the white noise of a fridge, the hypnotizing buzz of an old vent. Also the spirit of mysterious albatross on the piano…. http://www.johanpetti.com

 Went visiting "The Future starts here" at the Victoria & Albert museum.
This intelligent, provocative exhibition left me speechless throughout the visit, sometimes with a throat tightening feeling. It makes us reflect about the future of technology, about the slow but radical and unstoppable march of social media and globalization. But ends with a hope: that of rebuilding civilization with a library. Human knowledge but mostly imagination and creativity will never be replaced by robots. Well, very happy to know that! I also took and submitted a survey/questionnaire and I ended up being an "Empowered Hopeful", belonging to a group of people tending to feel socially empowered and have the most optimistic view of society's future. We are, however, divided on the benefits of technology (well...true!) A must see! I've always been curious. Curiosity pushes me into the world in search of surprising humans and other extraordinary things. Welcome to live piano, my blog.  |
