Musica In Prossimità // Alexis Degrenier // Day 3

Info

Alexis Degrenier lives and works near Clermont-Ferrand. After studying classical percussion and composition, he decided to follow paths as vast as they are remote, invoking the music of G. Ligeti, the metric systems of the Maqam and Middle Eastern music, as well as the pulsations of everyday mechanics, and the music of Central France through the study of the oblique listening of sound spaces. Among his inspirations are literature and philosophy, evident in the choice of the title of his new album La mort aura tes yeux. Thus he learns as much from oral traditions as from the written music in his instrumental practice and decides to integrate these forms in his solo for percussion and objects ‘Mouvements fantômes, membres miroirs’, where time is transformed into periods of time to become an (in)exhausted pulse, a solo shifting according to spaces and possibilities.
