The premiere of Garcia, in Txaranga, a concert by Bakarlari, presented in Le Vivier's season at the Chapelle historique du Bon-Pasteur, Montréal.
Who
Kalun Leung (trombone, mubone), with choreography by Bettina Szabó and instrument design by Travis West.
The setup
The space around the performer was divided into zones — the ground, the horizon, the sky — each processing the sound planted in it differently. What the audience hears is a mix of the acoustic trombone and the processed sound, further shaped by where the mubone points and how the performer moves.
Garcia, live at the Chapelle historique du Bon-Pasteur, November 2021.
Afterwards
Garcia went on to the Glass Box Theatre in New York (2021), the IRCAM Forum in Paris and NIME (2022), and live@CIRMMT (2023).
