Electric unconscious
We commissioned the composer Charles Quevillon to write us a new work.
Staged Concert, 55’, 2023
Performance for electric guitar, flute, alto saxophone, mini-fridge and electronics.
Electric Unconscious is an alchemical process powered by the physicality of performers and the amplification of their sound and breath. The music rubs together opposing conceptsand emotions: sacredand profane, corny andraw, fear and bliss. In these charged-up liminal and kaleidoscopic zones, a refrigerator is transformed into the archetype of energy.
