Mary Halvorson et Tomas Fujiwara<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le batteur Tomas Fujiwara et la guitariste Mary Halvorson collaborent depuis pr\u00e8s de 20 ans. Iels se sont rencontr\u00e9\u00b7es \u00e0 New York au d\u00e9but des ann\u00e9es 2000 et ont commenc\u00e9 \u00e0 jouer ensemble au sein du sextet du cornettiste Taylor Ho Bynum. Depuis, iels sont devenu\u00b7es des collaborateur\u00b7rices r\u00e9gulier\u00b7\u00e8res, travaillant ensemble dans une multitude de projets dirig\u00e9s notamment par Michael Formanek, Adam O\u2019Farrill, Matana Roberts, Tomeka Reid, Ben Goldberg et Mike Reed, entre autres. Fujiwara fait \u00e9galement partie des groupes Code Girl et Amaryllis de Halvorson, tandis que Halvorson est membre des formations Triple Double et The Hook Up de Fujiwara. Leur projet en duo propose un nouveau r\u00e9pertoire nourri de pr\u00e8s de deux d\u00e9cennies d\u2019histoire musicale commune et de collaboration, pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 dans une formule \u00e9pur\u00e9e.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drummer Tomas Fujiwara and guitarist Mary Halvorson have been collaborating for almost 20 years. They met in New York City in the early 2000\u2019s, and first started playing together in cornetist Taylor Ho Bynum\u2019s sextet. Since then they have become each other\u2019s most frequent collaborators, working together in a myriad of projects led by Michael Formanek, Adam O\u2019Farrill, Matana Roberts, Tomeka Reid, Ben Goldberg, Mike Reed and others. Fujiwara is also a part of Halvorson\u2019s Code Girl and Amaryllis, and Halvorson is a member of Fujiwara\u2019s bands Triple Double and The Hook Up. Their duo project showcases a new book of music built on years of history and collaboration in a stripped down setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stretching the Unison<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dans Stretching the Unison d\u2019Adam Kinner, quatre instrumentistes \u00e0 anche se r\u00e9unissent au centre de l\u2019espace, entour\u00e9s par le public. Plut\u00f4t que de consid\u00e9rer l\u2019unisson comme un point fixe, les musiciens en repoussent et en \u00e9tirent continuellement les limites, naviguant par l\u2019intuition et l\u2019\u00e9coute attentive entre de subtiles diff\u00e9rences de rythme, d\u2019intonation et de timbre. Con\u00e7ue pour un espace acoustique dot\u00e9 d\u2019une longue r\u00e9verb\u00e9ration naturelle, l\u2019\u0153uvre transforme l\u2019acte de jouer ensemble en une exp\u00e9rience \u00e0 la fois coh\u00e9sive et vuln\u00e9rable, invitant le public \u00e0 prendre part \u00e0 un champ d\u2019attention partag\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stretching the Unison is a project that explores the limits of unison and sets musical performance within a wider field of attentiveness and listening practices. The musicians, all playing reed instruments, face each other in the center of the space and focus on tonal blend and subtle differences as they seek unison. Unanchored to metric time, the ensemble performs layered melodies along with a sensation of group listening that is as cohesive as it is fragile. The result is a performance in which the audience, seated around the circle of musicians, bears witness to a musical process, called to attention in the open field of listening, time and intuitive play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quatuor de contrebasses Nicholas Caloia<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le contrebassiste et compositeur montr\u00e9alais Nicolas Caloia pr\u00e9sente el sonido se aleja de nosotros (Le son s\u2019\u00e9loigne de nous), un nouveau quatuor pour quatre contrebasses (Adriana Camacho, Pablo Jimenez, Andres Bohorquez, Nicolas Caloia), initi\u00e9 lors d\u2019un s\u00e9jour \u00e0 Mexico en 2025. Inspir\u00e9e par la pens\u00e9e musicale radicale du compositeur du d\u00e9but du XXe si\u00e8cle Harry Partch, l\u2019\u0153uvre r\u00e9accorde les quatre contrebasses selon leurs harmoniques naturelles respectives, cr\u00e9ant un paysage microtonal ancr\u00e9 dans la justesse naturelle. Ses rythmes \u00e9mergent des interpr\u00e9tations individuelles des musiciens de phrases tir\u00e9es des \u00e9crits th\u00e9oriques du compositeur mexicain du d\u00e9but du XXe si\u00e8cle Juli\u00e1n Carrillo, faisant dialoguer la rigueur de la composition avec l\u2019intuition po\u00e9tique et l\u2019expression collective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Montreal bassist and composer Nicolas Caloia presents el sonido se aleja de nosotros (the sound moves away from us), a new quartet for four double basses (Adriana Camacho, Pablo Jimenez, Andres Bohorquez, Nicolas Caloia) begun during a 2025 visit to Mexico City. Inspired by the radical musical thought of early 20th-century composer Harry Partch, the work retunes the four upright basses according to one another\u2019s natural harmonics, creating a microtonal landscape rooted in just intonation. Its rhythms emerge from the musicians\u2019 individual interpretations of phrases drawn from early 20th-century Mexican composer Juli\u00e1n Carrillo\u2019s theoretical writings, bringing rigorous compositional procedure into dialogue with poetic intuition and collective expression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
