Scent+Sound: Student Artist Collaborates with Orchestra in Rome for Multimedia Performance

More Information

​

During the performance, attendees simultaneously smell and listen to the work. Scented strips of paper, known as mouillettes, are distributed before the musical piece begins. The music utilises contrasting harmonic and textural palettes, suggesting specific moments of familiarity and surprise. An abstract blend of natural and synthetic materials in the olfactory component emphasises how combined fragrance ingredients can create synergistic relationships. The piece is part of a larger program, including other musical works by Dmitri Shostakovich and Fausto Sebastiani. It is Robin's first collaboration with Roma Tre Orchestra and the orchestra's first performance incorporating olfactory art. The event is open to the public, and tickets are available at 2tickets.it
