GUIRAUD, CHRISTOPHE Kutra Bégulma / Unfinished Altar
Description
ARS SUBTILIOR (14th century) and the NOISE:
the two inspirations of Christophe Guiraud which are like two rivers which are woven in a writing of great power. The French young composer is the link between the most accomplished scholarly music and some radical aspects of noise. Born in Toulouse mid-seventies, he settles in Brussels - which becomes the crossroads of a continuous creation. Currently works and has been collaborating since several years with numerous European ensembles and musicians such as Ensemble Ictus, Phønix16, Tom Pauwels, Timo Kreuser, Ensemble 21, Sturm und KlangŠ

Kutra Bégulma * Unfinished Altar
His most recent pieces intimately mix instrumental timbre
and sound hybridization, cultivating a certain secrecy around
this alchemy. Here more than everywhere else, Christophe
Guiraud's new compositions create a dialogue between the
times, from the polyphony of Ars Nova to Spectralism,
while integrating his noise heritage. Resolutely an-historical,
the last pieces presented here unfold in a trembling stagnation.
Performers. The ensemble of the pieces creates coherence across a wide
range of musicians coming from different places and traditions
and from different ensembles - everything is woven together
towards a rather spectacular conclusion:
