Concert as part of the "Nuit d'Hiver" #12 festival.

"Four Organs" is a work for four electronic organs and maracas, written by American composer Steve Reich in 1970 in the style of minimal music. It has a distinctive appeal and perfectly illustrates his work on the phasing of sounds produced by several instrumentalists. Sustained by a continuous maraca beat serving as a rhythmic framework, the piece experiments the temporal process of increased augmentation where the repetitive patterns become longer and longer as they "expand", while creating micro-changes between the various performers.

Live performance of the musical practise workshop carried out as part of the "Nuit d'Hiver" #12 festival.

The workshop participants have worked on two pieces representative of minimal and phase music, which will be performed to end the 2014 edition of the festival.

"In C" remains the best known work by Terry Riley. Composed in 1964, it draws its inspiration from Indian classical music and its forms of repetitive raga. Here, 53 patterns are given to the musicians, to be played in order with a number of repetitions left at the discretion of each performer.

"Et Tournent les Sons dans la Garrigue" is a mixed piece for an undefined ensemble of musicians, interacting with the tape composed by Luc Ferrari. This work dating from 1977 gives almost total freedom of rendition to each instrumentalist. It is an ode to rest and nature where roaming, caress and sensuality tend to be expressed.

Workshop carried out by Pablo Cueco: musical conduction / Mirtha Pozzi: percussion / Ahmad Compaoré: percussion / Jean-Marc Montera: guitar.
