Crescendo
This music video is the end result of my research into synesthesia and how you can visualize music. Duo Bottasso is a duo consisting of Simone Bottasso and Nicolò Bottasso. They play Italian folk music, modernized with jazz and improvisation. Because Duo Bottasso consists of two brothers, their youth is often a central theme in their music. The louder the music in the song "Crescendo" becomes symbolizes how the brothers grew up together. Crescendo is an Italian musical term (derived from the Italian for crescere, grow) for Dynamics notation that indicates that in a given passage the sound gradually grows louder.

"Daybreak" was it's first exhibition. More than 150 art students attended the conference, and more than 1000 people came to the opening of the show.
