Pietro Caramelli / Edmund Lavache - you are there (2024)
Pietro Caramelli is an Italian-born multi-instrumentalist and producer based in Den Haag, active in both songwriting and experimental music environments. The performance you are there offers an heterodox point of view on exploring the technology- mediated relationship between audience, performer and performing environment. Conceived from the meeting of a musician and a visual artist and film maker, you are there employs an electric guitar, vintage cameras and an array of found objects.
