La Nòvia: Ekomane/Nancarrow

In this new creation, La Nòvia collective takes on pieces by composer Colon Nancarrow written for the player piano. The rhythmic processes and timbral interplay at work in Nancarrow's music had a profound impact on Guilhem Lacroux and Yann Gourdon, who decided to transpose and arrange some of his studies for La Nòvia's instrumentarium.
The programme is completed by a commission from electronic musician and sound artist Jessica Ekomane, who has created pieces that resonate with her own work, the identity of the collective and the work of Colon Nancarrow.
