ALONE AGAINST BASS - RECITAL

​

The first part of Seul Contre Basse is a staged concert, sometimes intimate and introspective, sometimes festive or even crazy. It combines classical and electronic music, amplified and acoustic music.

Seul Contre Basse - recital is constructed as a temporal and geographical journey that navigates through the compositions of Adrien Tyberghein (with a world premiere by Quentin Dujardin and Gwenaël Grisi).

It is anchored in the French and European heritage (tour of historic places rich in meaning such as abbeys, disused factories, ...) and goes to meet various landscapes, colors and cultures.

The double bass leaves its traditional playing and is transformed into a real orchestra led by loops and overlays controlled live by different loopers.
