Projects
SOLO
ANIMATIC THEATRE, SOLO PIANO PROJECT
Solo isn’t merely an acoustic piano solo project, it engages much more. Solo is a whole audio and visual experience : a celebration of creation, peace and inspiration, elecronic sounds emerging from an acoustic instrument. Images and colors is an experimental journey at the heart of all music.
The idea of a project for piano solo crossed Mark Aanderud’s mind a while ago, but didn’t seem relevant until he light upon the opportune concept. Mark Aanderud’s conceptual and pianistic development lead to this vibrant expression of life itself in his most personal project so far. For Solo, he collaborated withNueveojos, leading Barcelona visual artists.
