abs201

(a coproduction by hibarimusic, fragment, pricilia, vertpituite & a bruit secret)

depicted on record is an a-topics meeting in music in the open space between two scenes.the 8 duets open on experimental proposals: 8 improvised musical meetings in the suspended time of mail exchanges. east to the west, japan & france.1+1 = 3. the musical arithmetic differs from what we were taught at school.each duet creates a sonic hybrid with a third element born out of the encounter of the musical identities.

hibari / abruitsecret / fragment / pricilia / vertpituite : from_to found its source in the will of 5 labels to gather young musicians from lebanon, france and japan playing in the fields of electroacoustic and improvised music. to renew them.
