Transeuntis Mundi Concert

At the Transeuntis Mundi Concert, an immersive, live performance presentation explores the sensory language shared between visual art and music. Created from a transdisciplinary, transmedia and collaborative interaction, which combines human interaction and artificial intelligence to create photographs, cinema, sounds and music.

The sound works were created by 8 transcultural composers – originating from the territories where Deriva 01 passed through. They are composers from Colombia, Brazil, England and the United States. Responding to an invitation from the Transeuntis Mundi Project, these composers worked on the sound and transcultural archive of this work and presented a map of readings in multiple musical aesthetics for the theme of this work. There are songs, fugues, electroacoustic pieces under soundscapes, piano work, poetry, and live performance informed by the theme of ancient migration and transculturality.

The visual works are created in real time, through a generative action of artificial intelligence using sound photographs from the Transeuntis Mundi collection. The result is an always surprising and expressive creation, centered on the colors, shapes and textures of transculturality, on the human journey and its nuances.

The Concert at MAC explores in its architectural format the form of Transeuntis Mundi creations: the circular. The circular is in our 360-degree recordings, in the virtual reality space, in our photographs, in the spatialization of our sounds – and in the format of the MAC hall designed by Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer. A 6-channel sound system will immerse the audience in a circular and itinerant sound and audiovisual experience, as the audience walks around the concert, and in this way explores the different acoustic interactions with the MAC space.

The concert features works by composers: Cândida Borges (Brazil/USA), Rodrigo Henao (Colombia), Natália Henao (Colombia), João MacDowel (Brazil/USA), Esteban Henao (Colombia), Kerry Priest (England), Rafael Mejía (Colombia), Ana Maria Romano (Colombia). The concert has artistic direction by Cândida Borges and Gabriel Mario Velez, broadcast/audiovisual creations by Esteban Henao and broadcast/live performance by musician Rodrigo Henao and his collection of Colombian and world flutes.
