Counterpoint is a compositional technique in music where several independent voices of equal melodic value are combined in such a way that they create tension through harmony and disharmony.
Visual artists work in a similar way. Using this technique, the artists of the HP8 studios explore Bach’s compositions, showcasing their explorations with paintings, drawings and photography in the Aspekte Galerie.
