The LCG players as they sat in the semi-circle, from left to right, viewed from the audience): Luciano Pietrafesa, Leonardo Requejo, Carolina Tonerlier, Jorge Sevilla, Martin Schwutke, Ignacio Gracián, Claudio Lafalce, Fernando Kabusacki, Ignacio Furones, Mariana Scaravilli, Hernán Nuñez.
Mariana Scaravilli, who visitors to the site will know from her work newsing here and RF/KC social media, was one of the LOCG players on the tour and recalls her experience of hearing the soundscapes from the other side of the stage.
Anticipating being moved by the Soundscapes, wondering how would it be possible to perform The LCG repertoire while holding such a strong moving feeling, music flooded the space and the body with a feeling of unity, clearly supporting our sense of presence, and therefore our playing, in various inexpressible ways.
Some of the remarkable characteristics of all Soundscapes of the tour, in my experience: at the very beginning of each performance the space was tuned in a breathtaking and deeply moving sounding dance, often serene, often uneasing, changing my/our state (and perception, even visually so) continuing to transform into colourful healing nourishment towards the completion of each performance. The performance space was left uplifted and with a sense of renewed hope, reportedly shared by performers and audience, sometimes in tears.
The performance on May 30th, in Rosario, had a distinctive flavour, possibly because of the remarkably tangible support of the audience.
