Sparkling Or Silent + Unfamiliar Music (Paris)

Description

“Sparkling or Silent” by the duo formed by Crys Cole and Oren Ambarchi marks a break in their respective artistic approaches, a moment of retreat and a focal point around an electroacoustic method which, although always latent in their works, asserts itself here as a central compositional modality. However, the electroacoustic approach is not employed here for formal reasons, nor a fortiori as an aesthetic line to follow. On the contrary, it is perceived as a writing tool, open to all sonic possibilities, a tool that allows the artist to draw, within the sound itself, an interlaced space where reminiscences, impressions and sensations weave a narrative at the border of imagination and shared moments, a narrative into which a complex and sensitive sonic layer inserts itself, blurring the boundaries between artistic project, intimate journey and shared dreams. Originating from a concert, “unfamiliar music (paris)” reveals the essence of the obsessions and sonic universe of Giuseppe Ielasi, a musician whose discretion is matched only by his talent and boundless dedication to musical creation for nearly 30 years. “unfamiliar music (paris)” is a remarkable manifestation of Ielasi’s approach, an approach where delicacy, sometimes nostalgia, and emotions know how to subtly permeate a sonic universe built around polyphony and reminiscence, around textures and patterns that intertwine, combine and nourish each other with grace and inspiration.
