Man-chine
What really happens when humans interface with a machine? Which of these two elements is really in control? Is it the human who dominates…or is it the machine itself that secretly drives the human in their choices? Who is playing who? These ancient questions will be explored by the organist Giulio Tosti within his performance, which will be set as a long acoustic improvisation, exploring the auxiliary electronic elements of the Casavant organ – its Piston Sequencer, Crescendo Pedals….with the aim of recreating a machine-like language, but adding the uncertainty and organicity of a human body playing.
