Alexis Degrenier will use the space-constraint as an extension of his setup, specifically prepared for this performance. The period between two creations allows him to find interstices where other experiments and parameters can be explored. For this solo within a bare space and acoustic configuration, he seeks to inhabit the venue with tense threads, between ephemeral appearances and spectral disappearances. Degrenier thus combines his explorations of “…existing through absence…” and “…time overflowing…” as if music remains a memory of the future, a perpetual becoming.
Alexis Degrenier is a musician and composer living in Auvergne. His solo work focuses on polyrhythms and their expressive effects. Recent research for his future creations has led him to explore chaos itself and melancholy as possible sources of light. His instruments include suspended objects and percussion instruments that are blown, rubbed, struck or used as resonators.
