Double Bill 1 | Ictus plays Maximalist! (Thierry De Mey & Peter Vermeersch)
Double Bill 2 | Tristan Perich: Parallels for tuned triangles, hi-hats and 1-bit electronics

▶︎The music for 'Rosas danst Rosas' was composed in 1983 by Thierry De Mey and Peter Vermeersch, who shortly afterwards founded the sextet "Maximalist!". The turbulent history of this sextet later gave rise to the Ictus ensemble in 1994. That same concert: 'Contre-Six' by the same composers. Both pieces are masterpieces of energy, swing, and melodic inventiveness, with a beauty of texture that rivals that of Steve Reich.
▶︎Tristan Perich's music always combines acoustic instruments and 1-bit microprocessors played through small individual speakers. The radical nature of his approach seems to want to reconnect with the spirit of 1960s Minimal Art, at a time when so many so-called “minimalists” are tempted by cheap religiosity.
