Viaje A Las Perseidas

They are Rafael Chicano (El Niño de los Peines) and Raúl Cantero, hardware and a telescope. It began as one of those customs that friends like to maintain: meeting each year to observe the shower of stars that we know every August as Tears of San Lorenzo. The passion of one for music and the other for astronomy led to a live a/v that combines electronic improvisation based on synthesis with the projection of celestial bodies. Without filters or editing, through an electronic telescope, Raúl Cantero traces a star map navigating between the stars, planets, moons and constellations that offer them on the scheduled night, projecting them in large format in real time; plain and simple, the viewer sees the sky as it is in real time (well, a few minutes or a few million years ago...) with the invaluable help of an amplification that helps us to observe the details with more precision. At the same time, Rafael Chicano uses all his analog potential to superimpose layers of sound that help us travel the endless distances that separate us from the stars.
