Esquizophonia

Project Description

A piano composer feels a strange illness the sound frequencies he hears are all mixed, an unbearable cacophony of noises fills his brain.
Confused he wanders the streets. In the midst of this extreme suffering he hears a beautiful music, the perfect symphony he searched for his whole life. Strangely, the music comes from sound speakers in a wild rave party and he is the only one hearing it. At home, he tries desperately to reproduce the sounds he heard but the piano refuses to play. Back in the streets, the city noises peak to an extreme that makes him loose all senses. As he is transported to the hospital by ambulance he senses moments where he recognizes normal sound frequencies. Moments where he doest not have visual awareness.
At the hospital he understands that in order to continue his musical composition his eyesight has to be sacrificed.
