NYX
Don't miss this rare performance by this stellar trio, consisting of three of the most important voices on the contemporary scenes for improvised and experimental music! Miha Zadnikar has written following about them:

“We are unsure whether the music of the trio that will perform in the second part of the evening 'comes from heaven or hell', writes the ArtActs Festival. Agnel tickles the ivory, dives deep into the piano’s gut and finally offers us a special voyage to space. Duthoit first screams, cries, gargles and curses, then grabs her clarinet only to wring and stretch it, producing sounds which, eyes closed, we cannot discern from her own voice. And finally comes Castelló, an amazing sound designer, adding electroacoustic pearls to this masterful ménage à trois. Witchcraft!”

Isabelle Duthoit – clarinet, voice
Sophie Agnel – piano
Angélica Castelló – paetzold, tapes, electronics
