NICOLAS WORMS, MÉLODIE BLAISON, 5AM NEO

FOR ITS SECOND EDITION, IS IT JAZZ PRESENTS A NIGHT OF THREE CONCERTS AT SOUNDS, BRINGING TOGETHER NICOLAS WORMS, MÉLODIE BLAISON, AND 5AM NEO. NICOLAS WORMS DEVELOPS AN APPROACH HE CALLS MUSIC-FICTION, COMBINING COMPOSITION AND IMPROVISATION TO CREATE UNSTABLE, NARRATIVE AND TENSE SOUND FORMS, WHERE TIME AND MATTER CONTINUOUSLY SHIFT. MÉLODIE BLAISON EXPLORES FLUTE, VOICE AND BREATH THROUGH IMMERSIVE PERFORMANCES. HER WORK MOVES BETWEEN ACOUSTIC AND ELECTROACOUSTIC PRACTICES, WITH A STRONG FOCUS ON TIMBRE, GESTURE AND THE LISTENING SPACE. 5AM NEO PRESENTS TEXTURED AND FLUID ELECTRONIC MUSIC, BUILT FROM FLUXES, SILENCES AND FRAGILE GROOVES, WHERE THE LIVE PERFORMANCE BECOMES A SPACE FOR IMMERSION AND TRANSFORMATION. IN THE END, IS IT JAZZ?
