Two weeks ago, we visited the Basque Country to prepare our concert with Josetxo Silguero in the Quincena Musical of San Sebastián. We enjoy having isolated spaces in the middle of the city, far from the madding crowd, so that we can work on sound comfortably. This time, the rehearsals took place in a small chapel, surrounded by a delightful garden, just in the center of Irún. Here we installed a quite complete rehearsal set [many thanks to Diego]. The setting-up was fast and we could get to work immediately.
For the first time, we had the opportunity of working on Qumran with the all the resources this piece deserves. Ángel revised the piece and included five electronic interludes, as well as live electronics processes. Also, we did likewise with the video, defining a stunning range of images, from real-time improvisation with ruins of judaism-inspired buildings, to suggestive geometric grids and rich textures. We are really glad about the results of the aesthetic whole.
