Pour sortir au jour

A piece for ensemble and a prepared tape.

The idea of resurrection was not only found in the Christian religion but has been the preoccupation of ancient humans who have long sought a path to immortality, since the dawn of history. From Osiris and Isis, through Demuzi and Inanna, then Gilgamesh, to later religions such as Judaism, Christianity and Islam, and also the Nordic religions, they are all connected by the concept of resurrection. In this piece I have used the history of some of these religions as a source of inspiration, with the actual use of some of the ritual melodies that I have obtained or recorded myself. This will be done through a dialogue between the live instruments and a prepared tape.

Bernat Pont How the Assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand Led to the Creation of H3NT41

This is a music theater show for seven performers, running for approximately one hour. The performance blends historical events, cultural references and artistic expression to form a dynamic and captivating mash-up of diverse styles from different areas, creating a complex and multifaceted representation of our digital saturated society.

The composer himself, Bernat, is about to present the greatest unveiling of his career. He has been consumed by an obsession to prove the undeniable connection between the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and the creation of hentai. Bernat has recruited a talented ensemble of six musicians to assist him in making the presentation more exciting and entertaining. As the performance unfolds, the various historical scenarios impact the performers in unexpected bizarre situations.

José del Avellanal Carreño TENEBRAE

TENEBRAE (music theatre for voice, trumpet, violin, electronics, light design and video) is a project born from the wish of engaging in a more holistic approach towards creation in my own artistic practice as composer-performer. It offers a reflection on the historical fascination surrounding the subject of the end of the world, integrating live performance, sound and light design, video collage and stage work. An intermedial dialogue between human and artificial, an abstract narrative in five scenes focused on the exploration of the human voice in its expressive, technical and social dimensions.
