Francesco Tristano – Bach & Beyond

Description

Francesco Tristano – Bach & Beyond Where does classical music end and electronic music begin? For Francesco Tristano, this question does not arise. The Luxembourgian pianist, composer, and producer moves with natural ease between concert hall and club, between Johann Sebastian Bach and techno, between piano, synthesizer, and electronic sounds. Bach has been a fixed point and an inexhaustible source of inspiration since the beginning of his career. Tristano is interested in the rhythmic power of this music, its groove, and its astonishing proximity to contemporary musical forms. On piano and with electronics, he makes these connections audible and brings works from several centuries into an immediate dialogue. It is not about simply mixing classical and electronic music. Tristano thinks of music as a shared sound space: eras, genres, and styles meet, overlap, and open up new perspectives on seemingly familiar things. With this uncompromising openness, Francesco Tristano has created a unique position between musical worlds and captivates an audience far beyond the boundaries of classical music. On October 10th, Francesco Tristano will be seen for the first time at Theater Basel with his program «Bach & Beyond». On piano and electronics, he takes the audience on a journey between Bach and the present, acoustic piano, and electronic sound worlds – and beyond the apparent boundaries of musical genres.
