Carte Blanche

How do you articulate a paradox, both sonically and visually? How do we experience space and time in new ways, give it new forms, reinterpret and expand it? Can we experience and overcome the boundaries between object, body, sound and their intervals?

Chris Corsano, Tizia Zimmermann and Chris Pitsiokos first played together in New York in summer 2023, during Tizia's six-month stint in the big city.

Always in the process of discovery, each performance involves further revelations of until-then unimagined musical forms.
