🔗🎟️ https://basement.kk.dk/program/xavier-bonfill-sistro-duo-vessels2

(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 Anagnostidou and Marta Soggetti 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 🚀
