As well? It turns out that the black color that look the musicians, especially the symphonies, are uniform, boring. Indeed, the latter word was used by the Spanish designer Agatha Ruiz de la Prada; who apparently he committed to design, with all the color that characterized dazzling new costumes for musicians.
Elena Mikhailova violinist has just released his album "Between jots and footwork. Homage to Sarasate Palblo" with cover designed by Ruiz de la Prada. The front and back covers of the album, if not because the violinist pictured, one might think that is another genre, not academic. Just this detail was the one that caught the attention of Agatha, and consider changing the clothes, so that people like her, with little musical ear, could be visually distracting while music plays. At least that was what he said.
This point is interesting, because the clothing of the musician is part of the staging of the musical work. Do not forget that the musical is a performing art, ie, appears on stage, facing the audience, not only "consume" music for the ears but for the rest of the senses, kinesthetic way. Think of clothing, it is also thinking about the repertoire and style of music being played on stage. So if a musician chooses a neutral dress, say, black, beige, white, it is because he wants visual attention to focus on other elements such as the instrument or some scenic detail, and not on his person.
It would be interesting designers, even the artists could think of visual designs for the costumes of musicians, where they can integrate speech sound, so such that the artwork is complete.
