playa, a sound installation that suggests the motion of sea waves. Fifteen acoustic guitars are laid out on the floor, from the ceiling an impressive dense cloud of wire is suspended over the instruments while thirty cables reach delicately down towards the guitars stopping just at the guitar strings. At the end of each cable is a DC motor swinging freely and rotating, with variable speed, a piece of fabric strumming the guitar strings. The swinging is influenced both by the motor and the contact with the strings: the cloud of sounds is constantly shifting in a fluttering harmony as the strings are played differently with each pass. The delicate filigrane music is shaped by random events, planned wave movements and the relations between installation parts. Unpredictable physical features of space, such as temperature, change slightly and slowly the tuning structure as time passes, creating live chord landscape of fragile, living quality. Hypnotic and contemplative, the imaginary journey of playa deals with the concept of chords accumulation and the act of tuning as a strategy, to create sound spaces inside physical ones, blurring the boundaries between the act of composing and tuning.
