Mon Ami Bleu (My Blue Friend) – a multimedia contemplation of a painting. The composer Fortunat Frölich and the video artist Myriam Thyes look at the painting ‘Homage to Mandelbrot No. 11 – Skywalk’ by the Grisons painter Otto W. Liesch. They translate their contemplation of the painting into their respective medium – the composer into polyphonic music, the video artist into a spatial animation. The music and the animation also relate to each other. Thus, a multi-layered multimedia experience emerges from viewing the painting.
The music was performed by the Hradec Kràlové Philharmonic Orchestra, with the conductor Kaspar Zehnder. 3D audio recording (head of team) and 3D mixing: Lasse Nipkow.
