Philippe Lauzier, Philip Zoubek and Pierre-Yves Martel (PPP) have a long history of collaboration. In the past, the three have performed together on traditional instruments: reeds, piano, and viola da gamba. In PPP, they redirect the shared musical sensibility which characterizes such projects as Hübsch Martel Zoubek, Sainct Laurens, Quartetski, and Subsurface Trio. This time, they choose an electronic path. Using analogue, digital, and modular synthesizers, they generate landscapes of sonic density and dynamics, vibrant and polyphonic planes marked by pools of silence, space, and serenity. Adding to the night’s magnificence is the record launch of Kalun Leung. Kalun (he/him) is a collaborative trombonist, augmented instrumentalist, and sound artist with an extended practice in instrument building, electronics, and movement. His projects are motivated by the exploration of new and unexpected contexts in which the trombone can thrive, an interdisciplinary and research-based approach that has led to the invention of new electronic trombone augmentations, the study of Balkan brass band music in Guča, the premiere of never-before-seen Keith Haring computer art, the mounting of a Fluxus-inspired trombone sound sculpture, and site-specific improvisations with landfills and robots.
