Renzo Spiteri

Quintessence is a piece that challenges the audience to reconsider what sound can mean and how the boundaries of self and world, performer and spectator, organic and inorganic, sound and instrument are rendered fluid and all encompassing.

Using a sculptural array of acoustic instruments, found large-scale objects and live electronic manipulation, Spiteri creates an environment of unique visual possibilities and sonic sculptures, presenting the audience with a rare and highly artistic experience.

Quintessence was premiered in February 2015 at the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester (UK) in partnership with Future Everything Festival 2015.
