Duo Sine Sole Sileo ft. Thomas Jaspers
Irene Sorozábal Moreno (voice) and Katerina Orfanoudaki (harpsichord) form the duo Sine Sole Sileo. Together, they are developing the artistic research project "Sweetbitter Fruit". This performance is part of that research. Joined by drummer Thomas Jaspers, they present a set of improvised and newly composed music emerging from two years of collaborative exploration around the topic of pleasure as seen and experienced from a female perspective.
From the simple action of fully enjoying the juicy crunchy bite of a sweet apple to the complexity of an orgasm, pleasure moves people to seek experiences and desire fervently. From a female perspective, pleasure is a coin with two sides: on the one hand, we encounter countless mentions of the female body as an object of desire throughout history; on the other hand, as women nowadays we wonder how to own our desires and seek pleasure in everyday life while understanding the complexities of feeling that arise from it – guilt, expectations, pressure...
Big Sister
Big Sister — alto sax, amplified double bass, and drums. Comprising Tania Zountsa, Gonçalo Almeida, and Marcos Baggiani, Big Sister dives into the uncharted territories of improvisation, channeling the intensity of fire music with a fearless, sometimes punkish edge. Their sound is a playground of extremes: shrieks, whispers, growls, rattles, and bursts of chaotic energy. Each musician stretches their instrument through extended techniques, creating a dialogue where noise, rhythm, and texture collide. Unpredictable, visceral, and uncompromising, Big Sister transforms each performance into an electrifying sonic ritual.
Ada Rave/Nasim López-Palacios
In duo format, saxophonist Ada Rave and drummer Nasim López-Palacios, immerse themselves fully in the realm of compromising free improvisation, where form does not precede sound but emerges from it.
Detached from pre-existing structures, the encounter unfolds as a high-intensity exchange: densities, ruptures, sudden developments, and a sustained attention to timbral detail. Rave operates through an expansive language across tenor and sopranino saxophones, while López-Palacios articulates an open rhythmic field, drifting between texture, pulse, and rhythmic dislocation—at times suggesting a volatile, exploratory sense of momentum.
