50 ans de L'Itinéraire - Concert #2 : Lumières

Edit






The musicians of L’Itinéraire and the researchers at IRCAM share a fundamental vision: explore sound, map it, master its meaning and expression. The impact of spectral music is due to the adventurous spirit of its musicians and the vision of its founders, but also to the parallel revolution in computer music and electronics. 50 years after its birth, l'Itinéraire finds its current vitality through the balance between heritage and creation, as illustrated by these two anniversary evenings.

The second evening is set in the enveloping light of Núria Giménez Comas, the spectacular brilliance of Natasha Barrett, the darkened colors of Hugues Dufourt, the Turnerian inspiration of Harvey. It also borrows from the inclinations and unevenness, those "tears of sound" so dear to Michael Levinas.
