Investigation of the issues of proximity and distance in a context where artistic mobility is turned obsolete
Brief
From september until decembre 2020, INSUB. curates the Insub.distances project. It invited height composers from the experimental scene to write originial scores. These compositions were interpreted by 8 duos of musicians fully separeted. The pieces, recorded & filmed, and broadcasted online only investigate the issues of proximity and distance in a context where artistic mobility is turned obsolete by the current crisis, highlighting the need to create and exchange, beyond masks and closed borders.
The 8 dematerialized performances that will be published one every two weeks, in video & audio formats, alongside interviews in which the musical, technical, contextual and personal aspects of the performers’ work are discussed. This dematerialized proposition explores virtuality as a palliative during the current situation – but also its limits by a crude montage which underlines the separation between the performers.
The simplicity of the set-up ultimately reinforces the power of the music : tender and subtle counterpoints are found side by side to interweaved humming voices, explosive bursts, pulsations, meticulous explorations, resonance activations & ethereal harmonies…
