Changing roles and functions of participants in the orchestra system. The conductor is usually perceived as the central figure between the orchestra and the listeners. He or she directs the musicians and directs the process to achieve a certain effect of a particular piece, through rhythm, accents and phrasing.
Conductor is about the creation of a space in which every spectator-listener is a participant in the performance. The audience area is divided into staves and corresponds to the different instrument parts digitally through the camera. Generative music created by the movement of people in the hall deprives the conductor of influencing the sound. The conductor turns into an actor who interacts and adapts to what the team creates through dance. The creation of a visual series is based on synesthetic interaction of the participants.
