MARIO MARIANI & INDIA CZAJKOWSKA IN:

                 THE SUN DOOR

 piano, voices, flutes, devices and objects
 
Mario Mariani and India Czajkowska propose a concert based on improvisation.
Improvisation, from the latin improvisus, ‘not forseen’, ‘ not calculated’.
The unpredictability of the artistic “spark” is the basis of each  creative process and the history of music repeatedly refers  to  such practice as pertaining to the greatest of composers.
This a kind of  real time” composition is influenced by three fundamental elements: the medium, the place and the audience.
The medium, the musician, the “spokesman” of what is being unconciously but “knowingly” played.
The place, to be interpreted as genius loci. Not only a physical space in which to perform that has attributes such as: reverberation time, acoustic chromaticism of materials, etc, but also a place which has its very own history and energy.
The audience, that last unpredictable element: a sum of people that fisically and spiritually fill in such a place.
It is hard, with such a preface, to describe something that does not exist - and will not, until its actual “mise en scène”.
Music, in past eras, was a ritual celebration that accompanied and set the pace to man’s everyday life and beyond.
The two artists, intending improvisation as the moment in which past and future converge will express this into a musical form that will go beyond the concert, being an experience, a kind of spiritual happening with a particular care to the “void” in which Thought, materializing itself, enters the physical world,  and thus creates the possibility of  Future Action.
It is the fleeting moment, the eternal present, the here and now.
