Carte Blanche

In the context of this Carte Blanche, Camille Émaille, who is a shooting star of the improvisation scene, plays together with the rapper and lyricist Anna Frey for the first time. The audience can be curious about the immediate interplay of these idiosyncratic musicians. Percussionist Camille Émaille's performances, among gongs and barrels, cymbals and skins, is both rope dance and sound sculpture. It is an architecture at once precarious and spectacular that comes together, a delicate and tense dramaturgy, a graceful and animalistic body-to-body with a sound material that kneads and actuates her. When she is not devoting herself to the music of our contemporaries (from Cage and Scelsi to Sciarrino or John Zorn), this musician - a graduate of the Basel Music Academy and Mills College in Oakland - moves between a wild concert with the # collective and one of her many collaborations in improvisation. She says she sees all her practices as components of the world and of life, cells of all things. Elemental.
