2023 RE-CONNECT 《Returning to the Embrace of Nature to Relax and Sleep soundly》Siesta Concert

Introduction

Siesta means noon break in Spanish, which comes from the Latin word hora sexta. In the Roman calendar, it corresponds to the sixth hour starting from early morning.

Artist Marcelo Armani invites those who are interested in attending the concert to relax for a lunch break. In a period of 2 hours, the artist will use the frequency layer of the low-frequency spectrum, combined with sound clips collected in nature, to reproduce and create a series of music in real-time for the audience to listen to and fall asleep.
During these 2 hours, participants are free to enter and exit the room, and everyone is free to enjoy the concert, or just use this time to relax and take a nap before starting other work. The inspiration comes from the artist’s personal practice of listening to electronic music works before going to bed, and this event also breaks the characteristics of traditional forms of electronic and experimental music. Therefore, this is an experience based on free sharing, focusing on the sensory level provided by sound.
