CONCERT
Giuseppe Ielasi / Keith Rowe (solo + duo)
29.03.07 // 20:30
entry fee: 5 euro
Giuseppe Ielasi is among the vanguard of a new generation of Italian
sound pioneers, exploring the outer limits of the electro-acoustic
domain in a wide variety of configurations, moving freely between
improvisation and composition. As a guitar player Ielasi has been in
the ascendant for a number of years in the international live
improvisation scene, among others in collaboration with Taku Sugimoto
and Dean Roberts, Brandon LaBelle and Thomas Ankersmit. In his solo
compositions he typically seems to make use of the chiaroscuro-
effect, looking for a balance between abstract tone experiment and
melodious song structures. As of late his attention goes out to
location-specific performances, making use of microphones and a
multispeaker system to explore the relation between sound and space.
Keith Rowe ranks as one of the main figures within the European
electro acoustic improvisation movement. Already since the 1960s,
when he set up the influential AMM ensemble with percussionist Eddie
Prévost and saxophone player Lou Gare, he has explored the idea of
“controlled accident”. Mainly inspired by the visual arts, Rowe has
developed an idiom of his own over the last decades, based on diverse
‘prepared guitar’ techniques and the manipulation of short wave
signals. He is a pioneer of the so-called ‘tableguitar’ concept,
placing the guitar in a horizontal position, dissecting its sound
potential as if it were a patient in surgery. In the twenty-first
century Keith Rowe is more active than ever. He counts as the
thriving force behind the electronic bigband MIMEO and he has worked
with countless artists of various generations, including Christian
Fennesz, Toshimaru Nakamura, Günter Müller and John Tilbury.
