Additional Information
Inspired by the poetry of the gifted Sylvia Plath (1932-1963), I Am Vertical brings together the Montreal ensembles Cordâme and Sixtrum. Cordâme’s leader, double bassist Jean-Félix Mailloux, has adapted texts by the American author and put them into the mouth of singer Coral Egan, around whom strings and percussion unfold. Sixtrum is one of our main percussive vehicles for local and international creative music. Cordâme, for its part, is a chamber jazz ensemble that multiplies crossovers and superimpositions with modern music from classical traditions of all eras. A few days before the program launch, Alain Brunet interviewed Jean-Félix Mailloux and Fabrice Marandola, Sixtrum’s spokesmen. For PAN M 360!
