About the RITE: RemixED

Ricardo Romaneiro joins forces with Ryan Francis and Leo Leite to re-conceptualize the most revolutionary work of the 20th Century, Igor Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring, through the lens of the latest sounds and technology from electronica. Combined with acoustic forces of a huge percussion and brass ensemble, two keyboards, two laptops, and electric bass, The Rite: Remixed will fuse a futuristic, rhythm-inspired sonic tableaux with a hyper-kinetic visual show.

About synthetic mosaic: ii

This work is a revised version of Synthetic Mosaic (2005), with soundscapes and floating piano improvisations, it takes the listener on a journey from light to dark then back to light.
