Abrupto

Description

Marina Mello is a Brazilian harpist living in Zurich. Beyond her classical training, she has developed a unique approach to the harp and its almost infinite playing techniques. Mello is characterized by transforming the traditionally gentle-sounding harp into a loud, powerful machine. The focus is on unconventional playing methods such as extended techniques, prepared instruments, and the use of effect pedals. At Marina Mello's first Carte-Blanche evening, the air will fill with rhythms, grooves, and electrical intensity. As part of the project "Abrupto," compositions were created for her new quartet consisting of herself on the harp, Mariá Portugal and Maurício Takara on drums, and Carla Boregas on electronics. "Abrupto" is the result of intensive rehearsals in Berlin, where ideas, compositions, and joint creative projects were explored and developed. The audience can look forward to a dynamic program ranging from structured, written pieces to works that leave room for improvisation and spontaneous composition.
