Contemporay electronic duet
Florent Colautti : e-String
François Wong : saxophone électrifié
Florent and François dive into the depth of sound emerging from the “hybridization” of their two instruments : its matter, characteristics and quality. They travel down a path where noise and rhythms, like pitched sounds, interact and enable the creation of new soundscapes. Yet, they don’t ignore the foundation of acoustic sound.
Florent plays a homebuilt string instrument called “e-String”, using electromagnetic bows, which he pilots from his computer. Pulse and continuous textures are processed for shaping live and abstract material.
