Trío Lesión

Lesión is a Colombian trio by clarinetist María Valencia, double bassist Santiago Botero and violinist Ana Ruiz Valencia. Focused on free improvisation, Trio Lesion takes its name from a long history of frustrated encounters, usually due to some injury (lesión) of any of its members, Covid-19, unexpected travels or city changes. For this concert, Trio Lesión performs an acoustic concert at the housing project Centro Antonio Nariño, an iconic representation of Modern architecture in Bogota built in 1952 that integrates interior and exterior spaces, public and private life. In a post-pandemic world, these housing models are gaining interest again by local people as they represent an architecture that counteracts neoliberal and airbnb-like housing projects.

pt.fwd presents John McCowen

John McCowen will perform solo works for contrabass clarinet. These works showcase the contrabass clarinet as a polyphonic instrument. By finessing the instrument’s sonic spectrum, a language based in the natural harmonics of a cylinder is developed. Put simply, the music features multiple, independent moving lines from one acoustic sound source.

Matthew Byars presents Attorneys General

Matthew Byars presents Attorneys General

Attorneys General is a project led by Matthew Byars of DC-based band The Caribbean. A formative experience for Byars as a listener was hearing the work of soundman Martin Swope of Mission of Burma on their seminal 1985 live record, The Horrible Truth About Burma, in which Swope, using a reel-to-reel tape machine, captured, looped, manipulated, and destroyed elements of the band’s sound in spontaneous and unexpected ways. Byars has adapted this approach to having three-four people (different players every time, mostly) generate utterly improvised sound through a mixing board he controls, which allows him to capture, loop, manipulate, and destroy the sounds they create. Results vary from the transcendent to the disastrous, but the inherent risk involved is, ultimately, the point.

Players for this event are remote and will connect to Matthew via an internet connection. Here are their respective locations and times they’ll be generating sound:

-Mark Vernon (Glasgow, UK) (7-7:30)

-Ben Allen (Lexington, KY) (7:30-8:00)

-Davis Salisbury & Josh Krahn (Charlottesville, VA) (8-8:30)

-Michael Kentoff (Washington, DC) (8:30-9:00)

Língua Fora

Língua Fora

Língua Fora ("Tongue Out") is a series of performances focused on artistic practices that investigate the power of voice beyond the words, and in intersection with analog and digital technologies and other sonorities.

The tongue is an articulating machine of words, chants, and noises that emerge from bodies in vibration and relation. Língua Fora awakens amidst a dream and, in laughter, cries the everyday tragedy through a gesture, easing some memory, object, bird, or insect out through the throat. Língua Fora is the possibility of embodying language, without dismissing it but dissolving it in a discovery of vocal and mouth pleasures and afflictions. For more information about Língua Fora, visit: https://leviata.org/novaed/linguafora

Juliana R. is an artist working towards sound and composing. Her work is based on research that brings live performance as a creative process, experimenting formats where she improvises with predetermined elements and limitations.

Paola Ribeiro is an artist, singer, researcher and educator. Currently, she investigates the body that expands through voice and the relationships that occur through spatial and sound perception. The developments of her research are articulated through the intertwining of languages such as performance, music and video.

Inés Terra is a vocalist, improviser and producer. She works in the areas of music, sound art and performance art, using voice exploration as a connection within creation processes. She created the vocal performance series Língua Fora in São Paulo, and she released albums as Ruminar (Editora Leviatã) with Iago Mati and Teia (RKZ Records) with Julia Teles.
