Quiet Ensemble

Founded in 2009 by Fabio di Salvo and Bernardo Vercelli, Quiet Ensemble generates audiovisual performances by capturing the movement of various objects and creatures, ranging from goldfishes to pineapples to clouds. The research of Quiet ensemble goes through the observation of balance between chaos and control, nature and technology, creating subjects that merge those elements, elements that take form from the relation between organic and artificial subjects, focusing on insignificant and wonderful elements, like the movement of a fly or the sound of trees. Celebrating the “invisible concerts” around us every day, Di Salvo and Vercelli uses sound-light equipment and digital softwares to transform motion into a symphony of unexpected, delightful sounds and immersive experiences. Inspired by John Cage’s dictum that the creation and performance of music should embody freedom of aesthetic expression, Quiet Ensemble strives to reveal hidden or often overlooked aspects of the environment around us.
