Hyper-concerto for synthesiser, drums and ensemble by Antoine Fachard and Nicolas von Ritter-Zahony, composed in 2022. A concert-tribute to Christiane and Jean Henneberger-Mercier, in collaboration with the Nouvel Ensemble Contemporain (NEC).
Here you can watch a 10 minutes-excerpt from the premiere of the piece:
Antoine Fachard and Nicolas von Ritter-Zahony, two composers who have been working with our sound universe for several years, have explored the interaction between our duo’s unique synthesiser-drums instrumentarium and an ensemble of 9 acoustic but amplified musicians. By including the scenography and lighting in the musical conception, this concert was experienced as a unit, a special musical moment, based among other things on Pytagore’s theory of the harmonies of the spheres.
