The electracoustic music festival ECOS URBANOS was full of joy by having a concert into the celebration of the 80th. anniversary of Escuela Superior de Música, presenting pieces from students and teachers of this institution.

 

An octaphonic arrengment was installed, as in the other concerts, this time directing the public towards the pictures that were projected since this was a music and video concert.

In this concert, the presented pieces were:

 

Los Ateos de Gomorra by Ensamble de Improvisación de la Escuela Superior de Música (Additional performance in Mexico)

The diversity of the instruments used by the Ensamble de Improvisación de la Escuela Superior de Música makes all its specificity: from computers using Max/MSP or virtual synthetisers by Arturia, analog and digital synthetisers, to voices or acoustic instrument with effect pedals. Each composer is free to choose the instrument that makes them feel more comfortable to improvise. Most of the pieces are totally improvised, some others are based on basic structures predetermined by the group and others are opened pieces of the musical repertoire.

 

Iquit by Ensamble Ananké: Homero Guerrero y Alfredo Sanchez de la Luz. (Additional performance in Mexico)

The piece is created from the residual disemination of sound as a self-destruction or a disassembly in the most positive sens of the concept, which implies a revalorisation and re-reading of the various textural layers that compose the electroacoustic distortion created live. The spaciality of each sound gesture is created in relation to the residual interweave obtained by the reagroupation and reorder of the sound matter.
