'Solo for Kino' on Silhouette Revue

US Full show on unique A/V Synthesizer      27/05/26

The Silhouette is a unique Synthesizer, capable of generating waveforms from visual inputs, as well as visual inputs from waveforms! Here we have a full show performed on the synth, with Pitt, it's designer and creator at the helm. We've covered the synth many times at Superbooth and on the website. 

Prepare for an audio visual journey, on what is his first ever feature length performance. Here's more... 
 

The idea to make a feature length performance playing a Silhouette Synthesizer had been there since 2017. But besides developing the audivisual Silhouette Synthesizer it took that long time to get an idea about the story I wanted to tell, in picture, sound, poetry and rhythm. The plot background is autobiographic and the media used in the individual acts uses disciplines of art and life I touched and used before: toys, puppets, machines, songs, poetry, audiovisual art, stages and audience. I wanted to implement a colourful variety and I tried not to limit my joy of combining and performing this. I wanted to show the Silhouette´s game on the 2D screen but also to play inside and with the room between the screen and the audience, to make it a room where a multifunctional installation tells a multimedial interdisziplinary story. "Revue" means a special kind of show but also an overview, a compilation of scenes, maybe even a row of memories revisited.
