INA GRM Focus, "From island to island" on Radio France



Performance “From island to island” by Anja Lauvdal & Manja Ristić, April 25th at Le CENTQUATRE-PARIS, INA GRM Focus series in podcast The Experimental by François Bonnet, on Radio France.

"By deploying its Acousmonium, a multi-channel sound system with impressive capabilities, the INA Musical Research Group offers concerts that open onto unique sound universes through a bold selection of works and artists from multiple horizons, each exploring, in their own way, the qualities of sound and the emotions they produce."

“From island to island” Commissioned by A4 (SK), in collaboration with INA GRM and Kontejner (HR) as part of New Perspectives for Action, a Re-Imagine Europe project, co-financed by the European Union and supported by public funding from the Arts Council of Slovakia and the Bratislava City Foundation.

Weaving an ephemeral web, invoking a dreamatorium with its own logic, deeply concerned with the spaces in between, From island to island is a subtle sonification of profound musicality, of real and surreal journeys, and of a gigantic maelstrom hiding the unknown multiverse. The invitation to descend is open, but whether these journeys are real or surreal, one thing is certain: Anja and Manja must both take the ferry home.
