Along the -fermata- (2019-2020) is a synesthetic installation of visual art and musical scores; the fruit of a research on relational ecology of plants growing along the banks of the Arno River. Freely drawing by hand the signs emerging from the spaces left by common reed, ribwort plantain, and pondweed found along the river banks, Stromberg graphically transposed the empty and filled spaces resulting from their growth, or when they sway in the wind, or from their interaction. This led to musical scores performed by Renato Grieco (double bass), Francesco Pellegrino (saxophone and clarinet), and Francesco Toninelli (percussions/vibes).
These scores are neither classic compositions, nor pure improvisations; these scores and their refined translation into sound are a true homage to the transitory nature of vegetation growing along the river and highlight the human-plant interaction as a musical potential.
