The so called “ether” is a purely hypothetical substance. Hypothetical means, no one ever proofed its existence scientifically. And in modern world, when something is not scientifically proved, then unfortunately they don’t teach it at school. So imagine the “ether” as a kind of air waves. The philosophers describe it as an “upper” sky, space or heaven. Some others call it the “fifth element”. In the ether all the energies are flowing: light frequencies, the waves of sound, even the waves of emotions and thoughts. If we believe in this thing (which is a not-official thing), then we could say “the ether is something we can not see but basically it surrounds us everywhere”. That’s weird enough.

If you ask DJ, producer and Cadenza label head Luciano what “Aether” means to him, then maybe he would explain it slightly different but his idea of frequencies and waves would be the same. Maybe instead of answering he would first ask you: “Can you see sound?” Hmm, see the sound? Well… Or maybe he would ask you this: “Do you hear the colours?” Damn tricky thing to listen to colours, isn’t it? Then when he asks you: “Can you taste the bass?” you will be totally confused.

So, let’s explain you Luciano’s “Aether Live” project. This is a massive live show jam in which Luciano will be orchestrating 5 musicians from Cadenza: Reboot, Mirko Loko, Lee van Dowski, Gregorythme and Laps. They will play separate instruments from the Ableton mixing software, joined by percussionist Omri Hason. It’s an orchestra of sound and colour synchronisation.

Until November the electronic orchestra of the “Aether Live” project is touring the globe from Tokyo to Israel and from Poland, Holland and England to Mexico. The basic dynamics of the shows comes from the use of colours in a live audio set. Selected colours from the light spectrum are assigned to each instrument which makes the show both conceptual and ground-breaking. Visual content is spanning diverse subjects to accentuate the way light is used to interpret the sounds. The “Aether Live Project” pushes the limits of technical standards in terms of software and hardware for both the audio and visual elements.
