open works / improvisations / artistic direction
Love Tapes
Multi-format research-creation project: solo piano, voice, recording, production. Ongoing research and album material.
Concerti - Ensemble Tesse
45-minute music film by Ensemble Tesse.
Ensemble Tesse has created six new works for their latest project. Using the Concertante formula, which originated from classical, baroque, or romantic musical traditions, they have adapted it to suit their ensemble's unique nature, which is a combination of improvisation and collective creation.
Correspondances - Ensemble Tesse
Artistic direction / concept / production / audio-visual technician / pianist.
Correspondances is elaborated as a collective composition, bringing together individual improvisations that communicate with each other and that are shared from one member of the ensemble to another in a virtual way - a chain of ideas.
Telephone
Free instrumentation and electronic interface.
Premiered by Tedarim Track, CEME Festival, Levontin 7, Tel-Aviv.
Supported by the Conseil des Arts et des Lettres du Québec.
This piece is influenced by the famous telephone game - a message which is repeated and mutated at every repetition. The piece deals with improvisation and imitation for two players and electronics. The musicians, led by a computer operator, try to imitate each other's musical phrases over and over with the expected mistakes on subsequent repetitions, resulting in increasing musical complexity over the course of the game.
Sound tracks
Open instrumentation and video interface, written in collaboration with Matan Gover.
Premiered by Ensemble Aka, Live@CIRMMT series, Tanna Schulich Hall, Montreal.
A graphical game is projected to the musicians and the audience. The game interface presents symbols that approach the musicians and is inspired by Harmonix's Guitar Hero. Each symbol represents a different musical element - gesture, short phrase, a note, and so on. The musicians must interpret the symbols at a precise moment according to the animation, while also adding their own musical interpretations in an improvised manner.
Viskleken
Open instrumentation and electronic interface.
Premiered by Ensemble Aka, Live@CIRMMT series, Tanna Schulich Hall, Montreal.
In Swedish, viskleken means "whispers" and refers to the telephone game. Influenced by the same telephone-game logic as Telephone: two musicians, led by a computer operator, try to imitate each other's musical phrases with expected mistakes accumulating over each iteration.
