MARIACHI
Mène (Badi)
10’20’’
Nina Garcia solo, experiments halfway between improvised music and noise. The equipment is reduced to a minimum: a guitar, a pedal, an unstable amp. The focus is on gesture and research into the instrument, its resonances, its limits, its extensions, its impurities, its audible corners: going with it or against it, containing it or letting it sound, supporting it or violating it. Here you'll find feedbacks, crackles, short circuits, impacts, overflows and near-perfect chords.
KASPER T. TOEPLITZ
Elephant & Cat
21’53’’
Kasper T. Toeplitz composes for others, plays bass solo, loves to cook and believes there are glaring similarities between cooking and composing - the same sense of idea projection and abstraction - and will never trust a musician who doesn't cook. His bass is enhanced by numerous saturations, both analog and digital, and his cooking is without ready-made recipes, and in constant renewal - like his composition. Both can sometimes be too spicy.
