Clementine Gasser, 5-string cello
On their quest for commonalities and links between cultures,
the cellist and composer Clementine Gasser, known for
“subversive classical avant-garde”, the sitar player Klaus Falschlunger who prefers experimental sounds, and Pepe Fiore,
tabla player and multi-percussionist, succeeded in weaving connections between avant-garde, Indian music and world music:
Finely honed shifts in sound-scapes and cluster formations and subtly chosen motivic sequences guide the listener to open spaces that offer the cellist and composer Clementine Gasser, known for
“subversive classical avant-garde”, the sitar player Klaus Falschlunger who prefers experimental sounds, and Pepe Fiore,
tabla player and multi-percussionist, succeeded in weaving connections between avant-garde, Indian music and world music:
breathing space for improvised reflections on the musical themes.
Differentiated sound structures and extended “sound baths” characterise the correspondence “between worlds”.
Pepe Fiore, tabla/percussionThe artists reach a remarkable and touching depth in taking up and confronting each other’s very different musico- philosophical dimensions.
The concert programme includes original compositions and adaptations of tracks on the CD Menuhin meets Shankar.
