Presentation part of SoCCoS (\u201cSounds of Culture, Culture of Sounds\u201d) network of sound art residencies, co-funded by the Creative Europe Programme of the European Commission (http:\/\/www.soccos.eu<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Binaural\/Nodar presents the end result of an artist residency with three European sound artists \/ composers, Helena Espvall (Sweden), Pierre Berthet (Belgium) and Yannick Gu\u00e9don (France), who worked during the last three weeks in the small village of A\u00e7ores (located in the south hillside of Mount St. Macarius, civil parish of Sul, municipality S\u00e3o Pedro do Sul) under the generic concept of “playing the rural landscape” in its double meaning, tactile and musical. The public presentation will include live performances by Helena Espvall (cello) and Yannick Gu\u00e9don (viola da gamba) and a sound installation by Pierre Berthet, being conceived as an expressive window that opens and amplifies the relationship with the countryside of the said village of A\u00e7ores.<\/p>\n

Helena Espvall<\/strong> (Sweden\/USA) is a swedish-born composer and performer, known for her participation in the\u00a0post-millennial psych-folk and\u00a0 free improvisation scenes. Her main instruments are the cello, guitar and voice. She moved to Philadelphia in 2000, having initially dedicated herself to free improvisation (especially with cello), and\u00a0 later actively involved in the city\u2019s weird-folk circuit, having been part of groups such as Espers and The Valerie Project and formed Anahita, a duo with Tara Burke. A collaboration with Masaki Batoh (Japanese psych band Santo) produced two albums released by\u00a0 Drag City. The first, \u201cHelena Espvall & Masaki Batoh,\u201d included several Swedish folk songs and marked the artist\u2019s first significant vocal appearance. In 2010 she released \u201cLapidary\u201d, an improvised collaboration with Marcia Bassett, a leading figure of the noise\/drone scene<\/p>\n

Pierre Berthet<\/strong> (Belgium). He studied percussion with Andr\u00e9 Van Belle and Georges-Elie Octors at the Conservatoire Royal de Musique de Bruxelles (first prize in 1986) and at the Conservatoire Royal de Musique de Li\u00e8ge (improvisation with Garrett List, composition with Frederic Rzewski and music theory with Henri Pousseur). He designs and builds sound objects and installations in natural and built spaces (steel, plastic, water, magnetic fields \u2026.) presenting them in exhibitions and in solo or duo performances, with Brigida Romano (CD \u201cContinuum asorbus\u201d, Sub Rosa) or Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Le Junter (CD \u201cBerther Le Junter\u201d,\u00a0 Vand\u0153uvres). He played percussion in the Arnold Dreyblatt\u2019s\u00a0Orchestra of Excited Strings and released three CDs so far: \u201cUn piano cadre prolong\u00e9\u201d (Sonoris), \u201cTwo pieces continuum\u201d (Sub Rosa) and \u201cExtended loudspeakers\u201d (Sub Rosa).<\/p>\n

Yannick Gu\u00e9don<\/strong> (France\/Belgium) is a French born composer, singer and performance artist, currently living in Brussels.His work focuses on tiny variations of timbres, the inner pulsation sensations and subjective notions of time, silence and error. He pays particular attention to the place and context in which each musical situation is displayed. In 2006 he wrote his first piece, pitulatif<\/b><\/i>, for a solo voice. He followed it with ticd\u00ea<\/b><\/i> (2007) a vocal trio, infimie<\/b><\/i> (2007) for voice, electroacoustic, video and light, soupir<\/b><\/i> (2009) and pause <\/b><\/i> (2010), for clarinet, guitar, percussion, cello and voice.\u00a0 In 2011 he initiated the cycle of situations a _ t e m p _ s<\/b><\/i>, which generated five compositions between 2011 and 2014 using a variety of instruments and devices (viola da gamba, electroacoustic settings, sound research on artis\u2019s absence, birthday candles, etc.). He has recently collaborated with composers\/musicians such as Radu Malfatti, Deborah Walker, Eliane Radigue and Mattieu Delaunay.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":14543,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_bbp_topic_count":0,"_bbp_reply_count":0,"_bbp_total_topic_count":0,"_bbp_total_reply_count":0,"_bbp_voice_count":0,"_bbp_anonymous_reply_count":0,"_bbp_topic_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_forum_subforum_count":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1184],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-13190","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-2"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.binauralmedia.org\/news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13190","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.binauralmedia.org\/news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.binauralmedia.org\/news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.binauralmedia.org\/news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.binauralmedia.org\/news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13190"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.binauralmedia.org\/news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13190\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15482,"href":"https:\/\/www.binauralmedia.org\/news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13190\/revisions\/15482"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.binauralmedia.org\/news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14543"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.binauralmedia.org\/news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13190"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.binauralmedia.org\/news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13190"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.binauralmedia.org\/news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13190"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
