Description
Counterflows 2014.
19:30 WILL GUTHRIE + DAVID MARANHA
Australian Guthrie and Portuguese Maranah are both now working in France, they bring a European sensibility to their music making. Guthrie’s complete musicality around the drum-kit is fearless and accompanied by Maranah’s physical musical presence this should be a beautiful encounter at Counterflows.
20:25 GHEDALIA TAZARTES + MAYA DUNIETZ
It is great to be working again with legendary musical autodidact Ghédalia Tazartès, alongside Israeli pianist, composer and improviser Maya Dunietz to collaborate on a new performance that includes two live voices, 12 tiny speakers and electronic soundtrack. If you missed AC Projects event with Ghedalia and his soundtrack to the wondrous film Haxan in 2011 then now is your chance to catch him again. Tazartès defies categorization; switching from musique concrète to – existing or invented – ethnic music, from poetry to noise, or from loops and collages to sad and extremely beautiful tunes in a second, but constantly is in flux and coherent. Maya Dunietz, born in 1981, is a composer, pianist and sound installation artist. Her work ranges between solo performances, composing for ensembles around the world, writing for theatre, creating sound installations, building electronic instruments, playing and singing. Dunietz founded the experimental vocal ensemble “Givol Choir” and is a member of the Israeli band “Habiluim”.
Description of A Joik:
Joiking is a transitive verb. The duo Maya and Ghedalia evoke a fantastic group of creatures through their song. Joiking THE entity, not ABOUT the entity, at the very instant. Setting free an ancient compartmentalized group of animals. An attempt to resurrect through the voice that which has been lost, which has been forgotten.
21:30 JOHN BUTCHER & MARK SANDERS – TARAB CUTS
“In Arab culture, the merger between music and emotional transformation is epitomized by the concept of tarab, which may not have an exact equivalent in Western languages”
John Butcher is one of the most prolific and versatile performers and creators in the scene today. His commitment to the development of the saxophone has genuinely extended the instruments voicings and range. This new project sees him exploring further the methods of improvisation in relation to ancient compositional and devotional qualities found in Sufi music and Tarab.
Counterflows is excited to be working with Out Of The Machine who have now commissioned Butcher to expand the work into a full concert presentation, where Butcher has invited drummer Mark Sanders to join him.
