MENACE 
for Ensemble & electronics
• PREMIERE • 
Performed and premiered by Ensemble21, 
at La Tricoterie Brussels, for Festival Mosaïques 2024 (first edition), 
16 june 2024.

MENACE is about ecology, where the Ars subtilior blends with electronic materials made of field recordings and oscillator articulations. 
Spectral writing, therefore, serves as a “binder” to various sonic and textural phenomena. 
This piece acts as an organic mass almost imitating the event that causes various varieties of flora to grow and flower. In a certain wild gesture, organic movements and hallucinations emerge to the surface, mirages, blurs, and sharpness burst forth. Like a world, henceforth, that could almost never come back.

Ensemble21 is : 
Anne Davids . Bass flute 
Benjamin Maneyrol . Bass clarinet 
Aymeric De Villoutreys . Violin
Anne-Gabrielle Lia-Aragnouet . Cello
Quentin Meurisse . Piano + e-keyboard 
Christophe Guiraud . Electronics

Marc Collet . Direction 
Kaja Farsky & Benjamin Maneyrol . Organisation/production 

Composed by Christophe Guiraud. 
Recorded, mixed, and mastered by C.Guiraud for ©UNEARTH Laboratory.

MENACE - Full PREMIERE - (Ensemble21/Festival Mosaïques, june 2024) Ensemble & electronics

CONSEGUENZA (studio teaser) for String trio & electronics
Commissioned by UNEARTH
Duration - 30 '
Will be premiered in 2025.

Writing for strings has always been incredibly gripping, transcendent, for my body/heart, something “beyond” reveals itself, tears apart the real state of things, of matter, but amplifies the expressive state of this utopia (write for strings), transparent and on the verge of disappearing. Such a clear and impregnable message. To seek a kind of offering towards an unknown territory, and thus bring it back to reality. The sound power of these instruments will always surpass time.

"... and hearts still beating."

CONSEGUENZA for String trio & electronics - studio teaser - 2025 (with Van Dam, Guaita, Lenski)

A composer and sound artist, Christophe Guiraud is dedicated to the realms of contemporary music and sound art. His primary goal is to delve into the crossroads of electronic, generative, and written music.

Ars Subtilior and Noise music serve as the dual muses for Christophe Guiraud, akin to two rivers seamlessly woven into a composition of profound strength. The French composer acts as a bridge, connecting the pinnacle of scholarly music with the avant-garde aspects of noise. 

Born in Toulouse in the mid-seventies, he later establishes himself in Brussels, transforming it into the nexus of his continuous creative journey. Presently, he is actively engaged and has collaborated for several years with a multitude of European ensembles and musicians, including Ensemble 21, Ictus Ensemble, PHØNIX16 collective, Tom Pauwels, Arçon de Nièze, Benjamin Glorieux, Nemø ensemble, among others.

His latest compositions delicately blend instrumental timbre and sound hybridization, shrouding this alchemy in a certain secrecy. Here, more than anywhere else, Christophe Guiraud's recent works initiate a dialogue across eras, traversing from the polyphony of Ars Nova to Spectralism, all the while incorporating his noise heritage. Firmly unbound by historical constraints, the concluding pieces presented here unfold in a quivering stasis. The ensemble of these pieces brings coherence across a diverse array of musicians hailing from various places, traditions, and ensembles—everything intricately interwoven towards a particularly striking culmination.
