Passage at Port Bou. Personal Concert, for one person at a time
Personal concert is a concert done for one person at a time: the composer-performer with his/her headphones and the unique listener with the other headphones.
A table, two chairs and two headphones: the music performer and the unique listener are face to face with their own headphones.
Anyone can sit in front of the performer, wear headphones and listen: the performer starts the personal concert. The end of the execution will be decided by the one who first will lift the headphones.
No loudspeakers amplification, no audio recording. The concert should remain personal, unique, private, intimate, non-reproducible, intangible (tangible for only one).
The only recording of the event must be the memory of those who lived it: performer and listener.
Inspired by Walter Benjamin poetic of fragment in this occurrence I have used a laptop, mini midi-mixer and midi surface. The performance took place in the City Library of Port Bou for a small group of person present for a few days homage and memorial to the great philosopher.
All the performances had identical duration of 3 minutes.
The public will not hear the concert but shall see and observe performer and listener; were taken many photos as documents of the "silent" concert.
