ECHO II (LA DOLCE VITA)
The basic conceptual idea was to test interactions between visual inputs and generated shadows, real and false images, live generated and pre-produced sounds. Final goal was to create a picture of one parallel reality.
An analysis of Fellini's movie La dolce vita brought to light three different sound layers. Each one represents specific visual component of the movie. The music is the reflection of the story, but focuses on philosophical, psychological and sociological aspects of it. It reflects the emptiness and the fake happiness of the post-war jet-set society.

Salvation doesn't lie within four walls. I'm too serious to be a dilettante and too much a dabbler to be a professional. Even the most miserable life is better than a sheltered existence in an organized society where everything is calculated and perfected.
― Federico Fellini, La Dolce Vita
