Electronic and Jazz (Experimental)

The Warp - Act 1 - Featuring only the the male performer, five musicians, this first act represents the warp yarn, the basis of any piece of fabric. A metaphor on continuity, stability and union, this sound space consists of sustained sounds and repeated sequences. The Weft - Act 2 - Performed by the women, five musicians, this act represents the weft yarn, which is used to weave the fabric. It is here a metaphor on the weaver's imagination. A suite of musical textures and colours, the weft is orchestrated to produce a sound space rich in tones, moods and dynamics. The Pattern - Act 3 - Featuring the whole ensemble, this act represents the assemblage of the warp and weft yarns. The fabric and its patterns finally take shape. This delicate blending of the music and textures presented in the previous acts make us lose sight of warp and weft: now the weaver's art comes to the fore, with wonderful patterns emerging on the fabric.
