Medicino

What is Medicino?
Medicino is a is a multi-media collaboration by composer David Barratt and visual artist Faiyaz Jafri using audio sculpture and life size video projections.

Over 300 acappella vocal recordings of the names of psychotropic drugs and compounds are layered upon one another, projected simultaneously from multiple sound sources. Creating a musical piece of infinite length.

The visual element consists of several animations depicting members of the nuclear family varying in scale in relation to one another over time. The pacing and the bright monochrome rendition of the animations in combination with the audio sculpture, creates a new reality for the senses and thus re-imagining the effects of psychotropic drugs.

The random juxtaposition of the various elements creates a new audio-visual piece that never repeats. The structure, tone and visual of which are determined by the listener’s relative position within the work at any particular time. No two viewers will experience Medicino in the same way.
