about

Traversée I is a project based on the multiplicity and tranversality. First, multiple contemporary music: from the repertoire (Cage, Andriessen), the music of today from alive composers (Czernowin, Rojko, Harada), and an original composition, a world premiere recording (Pouillès). Multiplicity of the periods, with some nods to the Renaissance music (Pavana Electricæ, Lacrimosa), a period highly active in artistic research and experimentation, and which presents a singular analogy with contemporary music. Last but not least, the accordion meets several guitars: the electric guitar, the classical guitar or the renaissance guitar (and even the folk guitar in The 5th Season second movement!), in a perpetual desire to explore the combination of timbre and space.

Traversée I is also not only conceived as an album, but also as a live performance and mediation project to be developed. It represents their desire to bring contemporary music to a wider audience, and to rethink the concert experience. Silhouettes Contemporaines are looking for new means of expression, whether in the layout of the stage, in the spatialization of sound or in the dialogue between the arts (theatre, dance, circus...). They also propose workshops and activities around the music of today, in order to give some keys of understanding.
