Fast Travel w/ Snowdrops (Between Two Oceans) – 25/10/2022

A pleasure to invite Chamber duo @snowdropsmusic to my sixth episode of monthly radio ‘Fast Travel’ for a special mix « Between two oceans » on @hkcronline celebrating thier upcoming record « Missing Island » on @injazerorecords

Snowdrops celebrates musical freedom ; formed in 2015 by Christine Ott & Mathieu Gabry, the french chamber duo is driven by a deeply personal approach to composition, improvisation and orchestration.

The pair drew from a unique combination of contemporary classical, jazz, electronic music and ambient, and spent the first few years of their partnership on various collaborations, from theater plays to films scores. Most notably, Snowdrops composed the acclaimed soundtrack to Phuttiphong Aroonpheng’s first feature Manta Ray, which won the Best Film Award at the 2018 Venice Festival (Orizzonti).

Snowdrops signed to Injazero Records for the release of their graceful debut album Volutes in October 2020, an eloquent miniature symphony of strings, piano and Ondes Martenot. Joined by violist Anne-Irène Kempf, they will release a new chapter in the natural history of Snowdrops with « Missing Island » on November 25th.

Fast Travel w/ Christine Abdelnour – 23/08/2022

Born in 1978, Christine lives in France but is of Lebanese origin. After discovering improvised music in 1997 she began a process of self-taught study and sound experimentation using the alto saxophone.

She has developed a unique personal language, producing sounds that are close to those of electroacoustic music but on a purely acoustic instrument. She approaches sound as a malleable material, rich in concrete textures which combines breath, silence and countless acoustic distortions. She has developed extended techniques and complex patterns of sound production, exploring the microtonal aspects of the saxophone and its high-pitched tones. She employs subtle tonguing techniques, unpitched breaths, spittle-flecked growls, biting, slicing notes and breathy echoing sounds from the bell of her horn. Far from any narrative effects, her music addresses the relation between listening and concepts of perception, time and space.

Solo Artist and involved in international tours with Andy Moor, Magda Mayas, Pascal Battus, Andrea Neumann, Bonnie Jones, Raymond Strid, Sven-Ake Johansson, Chris Corsano, Mazen Kerbaj and many more. She has released more than ten cds and has collaborated with visual art, dance, literature, poetry, as well as projects with noise, electronics, rock or free jazz.
