Xavier Bonfill & Sistro Duo _ (vessels)2 | Basement

Oplev et helt nyt værk for live elektronisk musik og lysinstallation, når Xavier Bonfill og Sistro Duo præsenterer den første opførsel af (vessels)2 på Basement.

(vessels)2 is the second piece in the (vessels) workseries, but the first to be premiered. The piece is scored for two vssl, a “perceptual” sampler and granular synthesizer that I have been developing since 2023. This performance will also be a premiere of the instrument! 🎛️

(vessels) are hosts 🪺

(vessels) store memories 🗃️

(vessels) are always moving from A to B to all the other places they have to be. 🚢🛳️

The piece has been in the works for over a year. We met with Katerina and Marta in 2024 to record extensive sound libraries based around snare drum and bass drum 🥁The recordings were then edited and processed and loaded into vssl to create the final composition. ✂️🔉🤖✨

The commission of the piece has been made possible with kind support from #statenskunstfond & #kodakultur 🙏

And the event has been granted support from #kodakultur #danskmusikerforbund #knudhøjgaardsfond #vesterbrolokaludvalg 🚀
