VISUAL HARP is a groundbreaking interactive system that transforms the traditional harp into a multi-sensory instrument, combining music with light and digital interactivity. Developed by Adriano Sangineto and the light artist Jacopo Dessı,̀ together with a team of engineers, the Visual Harp uses motion sensors and projection mapping to visually extend the harp’s expressive possibilities. Each gesture of the harpist can trigger lights, visuals, or interactive effects, creating a fusion between sound and image that transcends traditional performance. Adriano Sangineto collaborates with the Visual Harp team as both performer and creative innovator, exploring new ways of integrating gesture, light, and rhythm. His performances with the Visual Harp embody the spirit of Harp Revolution, pushing boundaries, connecting art forms, and creating immersive experiences for audiences worldwide.
