Die Winterreise: A Reinvention (a work in progress)

Performed by Marc Callahan, Lee Weisert, and Sabine Gruffat

In a collaborative experiment, digital artist Sabine Gruffat and composer Lee Weisert reinvent Franz Schubert′s Die Winterreise during a live performance by baritone Marc Callahan. By sharing the same stage, these artists draw inspiration from one another, and give the audience a new perspective on this iconic song cycle.

Using a combination of biosignal sensors and facial recognition software, projected animations come to life over a harrowing, digitalized reinvention of this 19th century music.
