Christelle Séry + Alvise Sinivia & Frédéric Blondy

Christelle Séry : 

In the continuity of her solo research with Pages acoustiques and her program of mixed music for guitar and electronics, Christelle Séry has imagined an "electric" extension. As her practice of amplified music grew in various domains, she quickly realized that a contemporary solo repertoire could be developed following Tristan Murail's Vampyr! or Fausto Romitelli's Trash Tv Trance... She thus launched the idea of commissioning composers of her generation.
Thanks to the support of Nicolas Thirion of Why Note, Thierry Besche of the GMEA in Albi and Philippe Le Goff of Césaré, they set up in 2014 a first stage of commissions and concerts for these Electric Pages.

Pages électriques thus proposes to take distance with the collective memory of the instrument. The emphasis is on the sensitive rather than the sensational, and new sound forms are savored.

Alvise Sinivia & Frédéric Blondy : 

Micrographia is a project of augmented piano four hands inspired by the book Terra Forma. Manuel de cartographies potentielles by Frédérique Aït-Touati, Alexandra Arènes and Axelle Grégoire. Alvise Sinivia discovered it by chance during a radio broadcast. He was immediately interested and this provoked in him an intuitive desire, at first still rather vague, to link it to his work.

The question of the displacement of perspectives which is approached there attracted him at first sight: "The seven chapters of this book are points of view on the reality, possible visions of the world sketched by different prisms, like so many optical instruments: by the depths, by the movements, by the point of life, by the peripheries, by the pulse, by the hollows, by the disappearances and the ruins, they produce situated, embodied knowledges."
