« 4bkl »: Obra audiovisual de TATIANA GERASIMENOK

 

Obra audiovisual creada para Morphosis Ensemble para saxofón barítono, actriz y electrónica, bajo la dirección del director de escena Edgar Alemany. La imposibilidad del contacto físico regular ha condicionado el proceso de creación de esta obra que quiere explorar la corporeidad. Como en tiempos de pandemia podemos acercarnos a la percepción del cuerpo humano? Como viviremos ahora la corporeidad? De las condiciones de trabajo en grupo impuestas por la pandemia surge una obra que toma forma virtual donde el vídeo es el medio por el que se comunican tres cuerpos que aparecen en una pantalla dividida en tres ventanas.

Tatiana nos dice: "En mis obras me interesa la activación de diferentes tipos de percepción del cuerpo humano de la siguiente manera: vista, oído, olor, gusto y tacto, que conviven en la naturaleza como ideal de existencia humana . Por lo tanto, me interesa combinar y activar diferentes tipos de arte como órganos diversos del cuerpo humano, que se activan igualmente para experimentar más plenamente la idea de existencia. Hablando del material, trabajando con el oído como uno de los sentidos, me interesa volver a los orígenes primitivos del ser humano, repensarlos y examinar la evolución humana, acoge el sonido "primitivamente sin definir" como un sonido desnudo y verdaderamente honesto que acepto como una belleza inigualable ".

Morphosis Ensemble: Joan Marti Frasquier, saxo barítono; Amandine Audinot, actriz gestual; Edgar Alemany, director de escena; Joan Bagès, electrónica y dirección artística.

MUT _Solo Saxophone – (20 minuts)

 

MUT is a solo acoustic performance that uses the instrument as a sound generator to create a rich palette of techniques, producing from guttural, visceral, to tremendously physiological sounds. The music is inspired by the way we listen to language. Not understanding a language enhances sensitivity to the sound of syllables as they are pronounced; as soon as one understands the language, the mind’s focus shifts to decoding meaning. MUT aims to translate this experience to the saxophone by creating a very unique vocabulary of sounds. A subversive act that "silences" the saxophone as we know and confronts it with its tradition, heritage and language.

 

Marc Vilanova (1991) is a sound and visual artist working at the intersection of art, science and technology.

His pieces have been presented in festivals and exhibitions around the world in Japan, the U.S., Canada, Brazil, Colombia, Cuba, Iran, Taiwan, South Korea, Russia and many countries in Europe. He has received numerous grants, awards and residencies including the prestigious Headlands Center for the Arts, San Francisco 2020, Bemis Center for Contemporary Art Fellowship, Omaha 2019, KARA Award, Teheran 2018, Citizen Artist Incubator, Linz 2017, the Encouragement Prize Tokyo Experimental Festival 2016, Jury Prize at Saxopen, Strasbourg 2015 or the First Prize at the International Contest of Sound Art Performance, Zaragoza 2014 among others.

BIRD IN A CAGE (2018 – 17 minuts)

A multimedia work for viola, electronics and immersive digital environment. Viola : Odile Auboin (piece dedicated). Co-creation of Alexander Vert (composition, electronics), Odile Auboin (interpretation, instrumental writing, improvisation) and Thomas Penanguer (visual artist). Inspired by the symbolism of the bird from various angles (Egyptian tradition, metaphors and psychoanalysis), this 15-minute work offers an expressive and intimate universe in which the performer communicates with the different forms of bird entities. A glance from within or a window open on the musician's soul, this celestial animal par excellence, often represents our highest aspirations, our spiritual part but also, as in the Egyptian tradition, the Ba (a bird with a human head that leaves the body at the moment of death) the soul of the dreamer.

IRIJORI (2020 – 20 minuts)

A work for viola, cymbal and electronics.

By Grégoire Simon. Viola : Odile Auboin.

Irijori* is a piece for viola, cymbal and electronics, for a performer in which a mobile microphone comes to the surface of the cymbal, thus revealing, as if through an audio zoom effect, the hidden subtleties and complex vibrations of the metal. Inserting itself into these resonances, the viola provided with a metallic mute enters in dialogue with the cymbal by affixing sound textures of variable intensities, looking for microtonal vibrations and embryos of melodies. Then follows, as a counterpart in the rhythmic world of the ever-changing harmonic vibrations of the cymbal, a perpetual movement made of always unexpected sequences of irregular rhythmic cells, reminiscent of the syncopated playing of jazz cymbals or electronic music.

 

*Irijori ( 이리저리 ) means back and forth in Korean language.
