Echonance Festival- Concert #1 with Tomoko Sauvage [full]

7 February - Amsterdam Orgelpark
17.45

Echonance #3 – On the Surface of Silence is the third edition of the annual festival initiated by composer Claudio F. Baroni as curator, together with Lucie Nezri production, Isabelle Vigier designer, and Albert Manders manager. Hosted by Orgelpark, in Amsterdam, welcoming an extraordinary line-up of ensembles and soloists who excel at a specialized repertoire. The festival opens with Musique Hydromantique for porcelain bowls filled with water and amplified, performed by Tomoko Sauvage.

For more than ten years, Tomoko Sauvage has been investigating the sound and visual properties of water in different states, as well as those of ceramics, combined with electronics. Water drops, waves and bubbles are some of the elements she has been playing with to generate the fluid timbre. Since around 2010, hydrophonic feedback has been an obsession for the musician – an acoustic phenomenon that requires fine tuning depending on the amount of water, a subtle volume control and interaction with the acoustic space.

The people at Echonance have kindly offered a limited amount of free tickets for Subbacultcha members. Update: The spots are now taken.
