At the beginning there is the artistic meeting between Françoise Déchery and Jacopo Baboni Schilingi, a composer whose aesthetic foundations are based on interactivity to make the human presence an actor of creation and artistic experience.
To propose a creative experiment and share an emotion of an artistic nature with her customers in the shop, Françoise Déchery proposed to Jacopo Baboni Schilingi a collaboration with the house Camille Fournet.
The idea is to design a visual, tactile and sound device offering a unique sensory experience. The appearance of the object recalls the presentation of the various leather straps (the colorama) which Camille Fournet has the specialty. But beyond the aesthetic aspect that invites contemplation, visitors are invited to touch the straps. The visitor discovers that his gestures, depending on whether they touch or strike the leather, produce different sounds and that what he hears constitutes a music of which he is the composer ...
The Pianorama is therefore a unique musical instrument. It combines craftsmanship and technology: the straps are handmade in the Camille Fournet workshops and contain sensors connected to a computer. The musical sonorities associated with the strings are created by Jacopo Baboni Schilingi from the recordings made in the Manufacture Camille Fournet de Tergnier (France): the sound of tools, the movement of people and objects, voices, etc. form the sound material used to compose the musical universe of each of the 37 strings of the Pianorama.
