AWARE
The audiovisual performance of Hans Timmermans (video and sound design) and Jeroen van Vliet (piano) focuses on the interaction between the piano and the computer-generated visuals. Hans Timmermans designed the interaction between visuals and sound: pianist Jeroen van Vliet responds to computer-generated visuals. In turn, the visuals are influenced by the sounds of the piano.
This way, the images, the soundtracks and the piano create a wonderful universe that naturally draws in the viewer / listener.

The music is purely instrumental, with a very relaxing vibe.
