Ensemble Contrechamps - Trio K/D/M

The Ensemble Contrechamps of Geneva have long been the favourite performers of Michael Jarrell. In 1989, the composer evoked his first experience of merging with electronics through a geometry term expressing perfect coincidence: "congruence". Having attended Jarrell's composition classes, Spanish composer Marc Garcia Vitoria devised a form of musical mosaic reinforced by electronics, making play with fragmentation and oneness between the ensemble and the soloists.
