Το[di]afaneis heroes are a collaboration that has emerged specifically for this presentation with the aim of creating a sound zone that real-time invests a video by Simona Sarchi. For this musical intervention, sounds from a (perhaps not so much) traditional instrument [baritone saxophone] mined with (perhaps not so much) traditional techniques are modified, reshaped and repositioned in the already formed acoustic landscape that continuously produce digital audio processing devices and (re)production encased in computers. 

Simona Sarchi is Italian photographer and graphic designer. The video is an adaptation specifically for this concert of part of a larger work based on the ancient philosophical considerations of the four elements (earth, air, water, fire).
