About this eventA concert by Montrealer Martin Tétreault and Berliner Ignaz Schick, both well known for their stunning avant-garde approach to the turntable, which they both use record-less, putting on it a wide selection of unusual objects and subjecting it to odd treatments instead. Formed in 2004 at the Gallery for Radiophonic Art in Munich, this duo continues to delve deeper into sonic, organic, and physical frictions, consciously steering clear of new technologies. “Our music is made with raw materials that have nothing to do with the passive uses of the turntable. We quickly and sharply use our set of home-made sonic tools to produce dialogues of varying speed, volume level, and duration. Recorded live, our music offers lively exchanges where tone arms are playing a sonic sport! These exchanges will get you ears moving...”. Martin Tétreault, August 2009 First part: Nous perçons les oreilles Two saxophones, two voices; two gargoyles, two satyrs; two forces of nature that agitate, whistle, squeak, scrape, blow, and bite, transforming music into a secular incantation and a banquet of sound. They practice in secrecy, like healers or mediums. Their music is lively, moving, almost “tactile”. The keywords describing Nous perçons les oreilles are: animal, extra-sensory perception, focus, instinct, intimacy, openness, play, presence, rawness, resonance, risk, sincerity, tearing. |
