Visual Harp is a groundbreaking interactive system that transforms the traditional harp into a multi-sensory instrument, combining music with light and digital interactivity. Developed by Adriano Sangineto and the light artist Jacopo Dessi,̀ together with a team of engineers, the Visual Harp uses motion sensors and projection mapping to visually extend the harp’s expressive possibilities. Each gesture of the harpist can trigger lights, visuals or interactive effects, creating a fusion between sound and image that transcends traditional performance.
Adriano Sangineto collaborates with the Visual Harp team as both performer and creative innovator, exploring new ways of integrating gesture, light and rhythm. His performances with the Visual Harp embody the spirit of Harp Revolution, pushing boundaries, connecting art forms and creating immersive experiences for audiences worldwide.
Adriano Sangineto is an Italian harpist and composer known for reinventing the image of the Celtic harp through rhythm, experimentation and vibrant stage presence. With a background in classical music and a passion for world and folk traditions, Adriano pushes the limits of the harp, transforming it into a dynamic and modern instrument capable of driving groove, improvisation and connection.
His solo project, Harp Revolution, blends tradition with innovation, drawing from global influences and reimagining the harp as a tool for sonic exploration. Through his powerful live performances - rich in movement, rhythmic complexity and interaction - Adriano breaks the boundaries of genre, inviting audiences into a deeply immersive musical journey.
Jacopo Dessi is an Italian visual artist, graphic designer and lighting designer specialising in the creation and management of live light installations. With over 15 years experience in graphic design, photography and video experimentation, Jacopo transforms light into living matter, creating immersive environments that interact with every note.
In the Visual Harp project, Jacopo is responsible for the visual and lighting part: he designs and creates real-time light scenography that amplifies, interprets and merges with Adriano's music, transforming each performance into a total sensory experience.
