The Moscow Conservatory showed music. Kinesthetics pending Automatic translate

MOSCOW. Three-dimensional Tchaikovsky and Scriabin at the conservatory.

The first experience of 3D-visualization of classics, which were decided in the Great Hall on January 15, is unlikely to be the last. And it’s not even that the popularization of serious music needs the use of means more familiar to rock concerts. Indeed, NOHlab studio, who has considerable experience in organizing light music shows, including for the legendary British group Pink Floyd, and Scriabin Lab from the Scriabin Museum, was involved in the project.

A similar experiment is justified in terms of the difference in the perception of information from the outside world. Audiences do not need much additional illustrative "support." Kinesthetics would enthusiastically perceive the connection of olfactory and tactile receptors. For visuals, immersion in the world of voluminous colors and images is a chance to multiply the impression of the sounds of music. Both The Nutcracker and The Poem of Ecstasy, performed at an experimental concert, received an unusual and impressive form of embodiment.

Scriabin’s appearance in the program “Poems of Ecstasy” is not at all accidental. The reformer composer turned to the synthesis of music and light, based on Newton’s conclusions. The famous scientist received a color spectrum from the sun’s beam using a trihedral prism. The colors in it corresponded to the tones in the octave. Scriabin first used the groundbreaking principle in The Poem of Fire. Rimsky-Korsakova also became interested in Newton’s theory, actively using its conclusions when creating operas.

The ideas of composers of the past were actively used by modern musical avant-garde artists, including in Russia. In the context of this topic, one can recall the interesting findings of Pierre Boulez and the experience of using the light-ray game when staging Wagner’s opera Valkyrie directed by Sergei Eisenstein in 1940.
