Volgens mij, hebben wij een aantal Nederlanders op deze lijst. Als
iemand vlakbij Amsterdam is, jij bent van Sonido 13 hartelijk
uitgenodigd en welkom te komen luisteren.

Wednesday 9 December- 20.00h
Maarten Lutherkerk
Dintelstraat 134, Amsterdam
Free Entrance!

Harry Cherrin, saxophones
Jason Alder, (bass) clarinet & live electronics

Sonido 13 will play original electroacoustic compositions and
improvisations, as well as interpretations of works by Arvo P=E4rt and
James Tenney in support of their debut CD, Versorium, to be presented
at this concert.

Sonido 13=A0combines the classical training of its members with an
unbridled spirit of exploration and freedom to create spontanteous
pieces of chamber music=A0which defy classification.=A0 Utilizing the lean
instrumentation of=A0 (bass) clarinet and saxophones, these two
Amsterdam-based, American-imported improvisors push the edge of what
is musically possible, creating richly textured and surreal sound
worlds in which anything can happen: =A0multiphonic=A0chords melt together
to make complex, otherworldly harmonies; microtonal melodies
intertwine and clash; instruments are played in every unconventional
manner, including half-disassembled, to allow for new acoustic
exploration. =A0The results of these experiments can be both
exhilarating and meditative, beautiful and terrifying; still sounds,
pure as snow, next to wild passages of gritty chamber-noise.

The name of their duo, meaning "13th Sound" in English, refers to the
'discovery' of microtones by Mexican composer Julian Carillo; =A0that
is, notes outside of or 'between' the notes of the conventional
12-tone octave. =A0Using this microtonality as a starting point, the duo
has developed the concept of the=A013th Sound to=A0create=A0a unique
personal musical language informed by contemporary concert music,
electronic music, noise, free improv, folk musics and many others.
They frequently work with live electronic processing and looping,
which infinitely expands their sonic palette, in addition to
collaborating with some of Amsterdam's most adventurous musicians as a
trio or quartet, making each Sonido 13 show a one-of-a-kind
experience, fueled by equal parts inspiration and french fries.

The duo also offers clinics geared towards non-idiomatic creative
improvisation, contemporary music performance, and live electronics.
Includes concert performance (duo), private lessons, masterclasses and
improvisation workshops/activities.
