Ways to listen to a river

Nahuel Cano invites us to listen to the voices of rivers. What are the stories and histories that a river carries? What can we learn from them? How do we as humanity deal with the earth and nature as a source of life?

‘Ways to listen to a river’ is an experimental musical installation with live video projections.

Together#6

A collective composition for ensemble, participants and audience, initiated by Alison Isadora and Modelo62.

The piece is made in two distinct moments: first in a creative session where participants work in groups, together with members of ensemble Modelo62 to shape and learn material. In the evening they will perform altogether and share the results of the exploration with the audience.

You are invited to take part in Together#6, a collective composition for ensemble, participants and audience, initiated by Alison Isadora and Modelo62. 

What does it mean to create music together, collectively?  

Together#6 is part of a process, a way of rethinking and reimagining what it means to make music. What kind of music do we make if we embrace the possibility that the roles of the composer, the performer, the audience, and also the score and the venue are creatively intertwined? 

You can choose to experience it in two different ways:

  1. As a Participant, creating, rehearsing and performing together with the musicians of Modelo62 in a one-day journey. (Reading music is not required. Whatever your previous musical experience you are welcome!) Are you interested in joining us as a participant and play together with Modelo62? You will find all the info HERE.
  2. As an Audience, attending the concert and listening to the result of the creative process.

Reserve your tickets HERE. Free entrance.

Ways to listen to a river, Nahuel Cano – Batard

In Ways to listen to  a river Nahuel Cano researches the history and meaning of rivers: the Limay and Salado in Argentina and the Vecht in the Netherlands. He translated the research into music and poems, to later build an audiovisual performance in collaboration with filmmaker Juan Fernández Gebauer and Ensemble Modelo62. Ways to listen to a river  is a “performative concert”: It consists of live music, video projection, spoken word and actions on stage.

Ensemble Modelo62 plays Lucie Nezri and Francisco López

Untitled #335 is part of a series of compositions by Francisco López for blindfolded ensembles. In the obvious absence of score or visual cues, without improvisation and with a crucial need for precision and acuity, musicians rely on attentive and dedicated listening to the music. Listening takes precedence over “reading” and the piece is “directed” collectively. Sound itself becomes structure and temporality.

for experiencers by Lucie Nezri consists of a transition between two very close tunings and is based on an unmeasured notation. Performers are responsible for continually recreating a certain dynamic in rhythm, variety and expressiveness in their way of playing, both on an individual and collective level. The piece therefore depends on a synergy between the different instrumentalists. First ensemble piece by composer Lucie Nezri, for experiencers was commissioned by the GMEA.

Moving @ Orgelpark

As part of the Gaudeamus programme, we are bringing Moving to Orgelpark in Amsterdam. Modelo62 will perform Moving, a composition by Chaz Underriner, who was nominated for the Gaudeamus Award in 2017. Moving is an abstract translation of long travels through the southern US, in which the ensemble and guitarist Nico Couck are surrounded by 10 speakers (2 per musician) and 5 screens. With optical illusions, field recordings and slow ambient music, it is an overwhelming trip for performers and  public alike.
