The Nouvel Ensemble Moderne (NEM), under the direction of Lorraine Vaillancourt, is an illustrious laboratory for sound research, linking the musical aesthetics of Keiko Devaux with the transparent and subtle sound world of composer Salvatore Sciarrino. The Arsenale Ensemble, under the direction of Filippo Perocco, performs works that exert a disturbing and irresistible fascination, some of which were composed especially for the ensemble, which brings together singer, saxophone, electric guitar, accordion and piano.
L’arsenale, established in Treviso in 2005 by young musicians and composers under the art direction of Filippo Perocco, aims to fill the gap between composing and making music; between conceiving a sound and the gesture that will produce that sound; between the lifetime of a sound and the receiving space that will consume it. As confirmation of a perduring research devoted to New Music, the ensemble commits from the beginning to perform premieres and on demand works of young composers, promptly adapting its personnel each time.
Cross-resonance is a co-production of Le Vivier and the Montreal cluster of cultural institutes of the European Union member states EUNIC (European National Institutes for Culture).
