Joris Beets (delta harp), Tim Ward (live electronics), Dora Panagopoulou (piano), Vassilis Tzavaras (guitar, loops) and Panos Kanellopoulos (mandolin) return to KET for an open musical encounter, where sounds are interwoven and deconstructed in real time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Without predetermined rules, music is formed through interaction and listening. The instruments become voices in a living dialogue: Beets’ delta harp, an instrument that reinvents our relationship with the harp; Ward’s electronic treatments that transform sound into fluid textures; Panagopoulou’s piano, where elements of electroacoustic and improvisational music come together; Tzavaras’ guitar and loops, which create soundscapes; and Kanellopoulos’ mandolin, which seeks its role in this free conversation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exploration is collective. The musicians come together in a constantly changing field, where memory and the moment shape the outcome. Improvisation is not only a technique, but a way of being together, of listening and responding, of discovering our “together”, our “close”, our “within”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The title of the concert refers to the work “Nox” by Anne Carson (New Directions Publishing, 2009).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
