Rather than a trademark of any individual entity, NovaTrio is a manifesto of new approaches towards classical/contemporary music and performance with various art forms. It is open to musicians, performers, artists, designers and technology in any form of configuration. NovaTrio attempts to derive the spirit from Wagner's Gesamtkunstwerk ("total work of art") into a micronized contemporary sense, thus to bring new dimensions to the performance of whether a 300 year old Bach or a 21st century work-in-progress.
During the following demo, NovaTrio developed repertoire in an open configuration, which gets "feedback" from one performance and be update to the next one. The reactive media system is developed in Max/msp/jitter, processing and costumed made iPad interface, which could be simultaneously controlled by a performer who listens to the live performance and constantly adjusts the system perimeters. NovaTrio is among the first to design and perform integrated reactive media in classical music recital in China. Those performance are featured on several leading media across China, including Xinmin News, Eastday, Wenhui News, Phoenix Network, 163.net and Douban.net.
