THE TRYPTIC Rewire festival november 7th 2014
It was planned to perform 3 of my works

[ TRAIN FRAGMENTS
+ AFTERSHOCK + DUST ] 

WITH THE PERCUSSION GROUP BLIN!MAN 
IN A OLD ELECTRICFABRIEK.
The venue was huge and fit totally with the spirit and aesthetic of these 3 pieces.
I had already performed Train Fragments with this percussion group in Brugge. They are very good and powerful. So, we started using the architecture resonance. Hit and Slam on the Steel metal structure and gradually move on the stage. All the audience in the dark with few lights on the structure of the factory. we played the first piece until the train derails _ just at the end of this movement, very synchronise with the score … Total black out. We crash the electricity of the factory. Incredible but true. Ironical !!!!! The building foreman was out for the week end. Impossible to reboot the system. But these first 15 minutes was so intense and the audience stay very hi when the power crash. So the tryptic was reduce to these 15 minutes. More pictures coming soon !

Beside Train Fragments who is played with a percussion group and the music score was created by me, I still present Different Trains who the music score is from Steve Reich. Different Trains is played with a string Quartet.
Con Different Trains, Herman Kolgen nos presenta una versión AV inspirada en una pieza sonora de Steve Reich. Different Trains fue compuesta en 1988 para un cuarteto de cuerda con cassettes magnéticas. En L.E.V. 2014, un cuarteto de cuerda interpretará junto a Herman Kolgen una perfecta simbiosis de sonido e imagen.

At the view of all these old trains, tools and machines, I decide to use ready made machinery parts like instruments. The musicians find there own way to play on these new percussive kits. I have to admit that I was very lucky to play in these formidable venue.
