Lotus Eddé Khouri and Gamut Kollektiv

7 Lines
editiongamut EG 04

Choreographed minimalism, the performance on 7 Lines resulted from a challenge given to French-Lebanese dancer/choreographer Lotus Eddé Khouri to compose music to be performed by seven Zürich-based musicians. Although the visual aspect of stage placement and gestures are unseen, the audio recorded on-site by France’s Eric la Casa and transformed into this disc can stand on its own. Khouri, who has worked with Jean-Luc Guionnet, is familiar with musical improvisation, though the moments of silence during this 50-minute composition are important parts of the concet as well. MORE
