Hyper Duo: Energy and Transgression of Boundaries
The second show we documented featured the Swiss duo Hyper Duo , pianist Gilles Grimaitre and percussionist Julien Mégroz . This experimental project focuses on contemporary creation, exploring the boundaries between avant-garde composition, rock energy, progressive excess, and absurdist poetry.
Deeply influenced by intense collaborations with extraordinary composers and artists, Hyper Duo moves between the serious and the playful, exploring sounds and performative spaces with an original instrumentation of drums and electronic keyboards. Since 2017, the duo has been engaged in researching programs that blur the boundaries between music and performance art , pursuing a collective exploration of sound and space.
Hyper Duo’s performance stood out for its innovative use of timbres and rhythms, creating a sonic universe somewhere between the surprising and the irreverent, in an almost symbiotic relationship between the musical performance and the visual art of the images projected on the screen. Energetic and engaging, the concert culminated in the world premiere of the full version of “Cadavre Exquis,” a “visual and musical kaleidoscope based on their latest music video by artist Emmanuel Vion-Dury .”
