Proscaenium

Anne Briset is a percussionist as comfortable in symphonic orchestras as in contemporary creation, notably with the Geneva-based ensemble Eklekto & Batida. Her path has constantly led her to re-examine her approach to her instruments, from percussion to keyboards made of skin, wood, metal, and other instruments augmented by electronics.

In recent years, Anne Briset has also taken on another instrument: the double bass. For Proscaenium, she explores the timpani, instrument traditionally used with orchestra, but rarely played in solo. This concert brings it to the front of the stage, in a quest for new timbres and modes of play, through two compositions: Traces XVIII, by Martin Matalon, which adds electronics to broaden sonic perceptions, between the real and the virtual; and Qui?, by Jean-Pierre Drouet, which offers an endless interplay of voice, hands and feet.

From 3 to 11 February 2024, the Souffle festival will be presenting concerts, encounters and unprecedented encounters, offering listening experiences we can enjoy together, with music and sounds that play with our perceptions, sensations and emotions. From acoustic music to electronic and digital technologies, from hybrid creations to writing, improvisation, performance and the visual arts, Souffle is a breath of fresh air in the flow of our sonic habits.

Souffle is a biennial festival organised with the Opéra and La Vapeur: after a first co-edition in 2022, it’s the ici l’onde music creation centre that’s coordinating this major event dedicated to sound creation in all its forms.

Souffle will be held in the new Triangle room at the Auditorium de l’Opéra, at La Vapeur, at the Consortium Museum, at Ateliers Vortex, at Un Singe en Hiver, at La Menuiserie and in the public space.

Souffle because sound is a wave: air that becomes language and music when it vibrates in our eardrums.
