As other categories of Art, reproached of being abstract and far removed from reality, so music employs illusion to face illusion itself. This does not mean getting away from the world, but desperately loving it. Music is an opportunity to take uncertainty as principle of operation, questioning the culture to bring it to the extreme. A contemporary Dawn is a soundscape that plays with dimensions. This performance interacts with its listeners through the use of TWITTER: each tweet with a specific alphabet made up of hashtag can change the space and the movement of a musical journey that flows around the public, investigating the behaviour, habits, of a musical language that evolves and devolves from the last century. Floating in space, Atlas –as we have known it so far - looks at the depths of time and in the maze of old and new networks for a different story. A new dawn. To interact with the installation, public can write a tweet including the hashtag #DAWNSCAPE.
