Q[uintetto](http://www.yatzer.com/2238%5Fquintetto%5Fby%5Fquiet%5Fensemble?ref=protein.xyz) is the latest project by Fabio Di Salvo and Bernardo Vercelli aka [Quiet Ensemble](http://www.quietensemble.com/home.html?ref=protein.xyz). Winner of third prize at the International Contemporary Art Prize - Celeste Prize, Quintetto is an installation based on the study of the casual movement of fish used as input for the production of sounds. [Quiet Ensemble](http://www.quietensemble.com/home.html?ref=protein.xyz) calls these casual movements "invisible concerts", and these concerts can be anything from walking to the subway or driving to work, anywhere there is a conceptual relationship between the natural and built environment.

How it works is that there are 5 vertical aquariums each holding a fish and a video camera records its movements which are then translated into sounds through a computer software. As the fish moves around, digital sounds signals are created and with 5 different instruments the fish become the conductors of a live concert. Watching the concerts makes them no longer "invisible" and in return asks the viewer to think about the soundtrack to their own lives.
