Live Performance: Obliquo & Perpetuo Quartet with Giovanni Mancuso
Live Broadcast | Portals | COSMOGRAM x MONOM

Portals is an experimental project of three events in 2023, centered around COSMOGRAM. It connected performers, spaces, and audiences in real time through live visuals and 4DSOUND technology. By employing MONOM’s advanced immersive mixing techniques, a meticulously designed 4DSOUND speaker setup, and a high-quality live video link, Portals created a groundbreaking live broadcasting experience. This setup allowed audiences at 3537 in Paris and MONOM in Berlin to experience COSMO's distinctive acoustic characteristics, providing a sensory window into its unique atmosphere and artistic community.

The second event of Portals featured the Obliquo Quartet and the Perpetuo Quartet. These ensembles have explored the relationship between acoustic instruments and space within COSMO for years. They presented a site-specific repertoire of minimalist works that captured the essence of their research. This included a quintessential collection from contemporary composers, exploring modern string and saxophone quartet music by investigating tones, hues, and timbres that transcend the classical canon.
