Who are the they?

Signs of the Silhouette is a project that connects sound exploration with video. Music is developed throughout the study of image in loco by improvisation.

Very influenced by the reading of texts about Phenomenology and Aesthics, the making of this band started with a dialogue about the possibility of the conversion of sound into image and vice versa.

The complete disconnection from primary experiences was their starting point. “How do you feel a car motor or the rain hitting the street in sound? How does it touch you and how to answer musically to it. We are mainly receivers when we should be translators.”

In a show their act of music is answered with reactions to a video projected in the musician body. Therefore the one that plays becomes the visual support of an image interpreted by musical improvisation.

The act becomes a dialogue between a body transmuted lived image perception in loco by a musical, gestual, reactive and spontaneous response. Video and sound working together.

Duot

Is a free jazz duo from Barcelona, Spain formed by Albert Cirera (s)and Ramón Prats (d)

It is unusual come across a couple of young graduates who decide to engage in improvisation with such a clear devil-take-the-hindmost attitude. For this reason and many more, Duot is a unique group. After five years of playing music together, Albert and Ramón have reached musical maturity with an intensity that could not have been possible to achieve any other way. Almost as if by telepathy, each knows what the other is thinking. And it shows. I’d like to believe that this intensity is an old virtue or at least one that is old-fashioned, especially given how fleeting and superficial most of today’s music is. Their music is a reflection of themselves, that is to say, it is at once physically intense and at times overwhelming, as well as sophisticated, daring, fragile, cheeky, and a breath of fresh air. If anything, their music is both free and alive. (…) Agustí Fernández, piano player and composer Duot. If, instead of a text, I’d been ask to come up with album sleeve, I would have drawn the two of them burried in the ground up to their navel. They’d both be trying to fight with each other, like the men in the old etchings who would be fighting their own shadows, their arms flailing above their heads, along with sticks and odd tubing. They’d be eating dirt and filling their lungs with a deep misty fragrance. C’est pas la pein de penser. These are athletes of a sport that will never be recognized. This is their sports career, however. It allows them to scramble up and down an ever-tautening cable of a style of music they call free just as they could have as easily could have called it toud. (…) Jack Torrance.
