We are all part of a chaotic yet harmonious orchestra called life. Cars racing through the streets and pedestrians hurrying about their business are just two examples of movement that creates harmony or dissonance in everyday life. We are so accustomed to the daily performed actions that we do not consider them as something special, but at the same time every day we are witnesses and participants of hundreds of "invisible concerts". Still do not really understand what this is about? The guys from the "Quiet Ensemble" - and the idea of "invisible concerts" belongs to them - will show what they mean.
An example illustrating the theory of the "invisible concert" is the installation "Quintetto", which combines art, technology and nature in the process of creating music. The installation is based on the study of random movements of objects or living beings, on the basis of which sounds are produced. The main idea is to discover and showcase what the authors call the "invisible concerts" of everyday life. To do this, five goldfish were placed in five separate vertical aquariums, all their movements were filmed with a video camera, and then, using a special program, were transformed into digital sound signals. Five fish - five musical instruments, and in general it turned out to be a completely unexpected live concert.
Using modern technology to capture routine movements and transform them into sounds, Quiet Ensemble explores not only the music of our lives, but also the conceptual relationship between natural and artificial environments.
In 2009, the installation "Quintetto" won third place in Berlin at the "International contemporary art prize-Celesteprize". The Quiet Ensemble was founded in 2009 by Italians Fabio Di Salvo and Bernardo Vercelli.

How was this accomplished?
