Video Art & Live Cinema Concept

Elsoyame is a music and visual concert. The music part is mainly electro-jazz, and the visual part consists of live -manipulating poetic images, real time processed effects through MIDI controllers, live cams, glitch art, and cinematic scenes. 

The concert did already tours in many cities in Italy, and soon it will be in various venues outside Italy.

In March 2020, Rizosfera released the audio-visual material, titled: LightroniX, being the band’s first video album that contains an art booklet and a USB sonic card.

Chaos Films, is a "Live Cinema" project that collects footage from the lives of some electronic musicians based in several European cities, such as Adi Newton/Clock DVA (London), Network Ensemble (Berlin), NicoNote (Rimini), Zafer Aracagôk (Istanbul), and many others.

The concept is to produce films avoiding the post-production phase, the collected videos are manipulated live through a midi controller in specific events, the Live events are recorded directly through external video recorders in order to have the "happened" film. The video shootings have their own path and they aren’t meant to be Music videos for the sound pieces in a binary form of both image and sound..

Cultural Exchange Rate is an interactive live art project in which artist Tania El Khoury shares her family memoirs of life in a border village between Lebanon and Syria. One marked by war survival, valueless currency collection, brief migration to Mexico, and a river that disregards the colonial and national borders. In this project, I created "Live Videos" as an essential part of the installation. The project was first debuted at  SPIELART Das Theaterfestival in München, at the Bard Fisher Center (𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗬𝗼𝗿𝗸) & then at the Onassis Stegi Foundation (𝗔𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻𝘀). 

In this project I realised the video art pieces inside the installation, using classic editing techniques combined with live visuals.
