PIANOSCAPES Mysteria is an inter-disciplinary collaboration project between Marynka (piano composer/ performer), Dr. Goldfinger (dj, sound artist), Vladimir Grafov (tech/light artist) and olfactory artist Juliya Untilova (olfactory artist exploring the scents as medium).
PIANOSCAPES performance is based on the reflective piano compositions of Marynka, which draw inspiration from French impressionism and Eastern modal music. The unique and intimate experience of Marynka’s piano play is enhanced by sound effects and percussions produced by Dr. Goldfinger, by dynamic light installation controlled in real time by Vladimir Grafov and by the fragrances created by Juliya Untilova.
Complemented by the public as an active participant of this alchemic unity, all the elements connect together in a synchronized quantum relationship.
Pianoscapes project approaches Russian composer Alexander Scriabin’s dream to create ‘Mysteria’ – a symphony of colours, lights, sounds, smells, movement and even sounding architecture.
Ecstatic Experience
Audience talk of “transporting to another dimension”, “bringing back long forgotten memories”, “very emotional and intimate experience” and “a delightful immersive atmosphere”. The more “advanced” listeners even talk of ecstatic experience.
Location
The Pianoscapes Mysteria will take place in a lesser-known historical monument on the Amsterdam canal ring – Keizersrgracht Church. Designed by the Dutch architect G.B. Salm, who is also responsible for the original church building of the famed pop temple Paradiso in Amsterdam, it has outstanding acoustic properties, which we plan to integrate in this program.
This event is supported by W.E. Janssen Fonds
