Coffin Bubbles

Quick Info

In blues, rock and jazz, the electric guitar is more than just an instrument. It is an icon. Its powerfully associative sound confronts composers with new options and challenges. How fundamentally different, joyful and imaginative this confrontation can be is demonstrated by the Israeli electric-guitar virtuoso Yaron Deutsch, playing three works that have been composed for him in the last ten years. Of these, he intones one piece along with the Ensemble Linea: in Chaya Czernowin’s „Knights of the strange” his instrument merges dreamily with the accordion. Raphaël Cendo even spans the net of hybrid sound across several epochs and cultures. His concerto „Coffin Bubbles Blue” explores extravagant amalgams between electric guitar and theorbo, cimbalom, Chinese mouth organ Sheng or the electrical organ. Meanwhile, in „Sgorgo Y”, the Italian Pierluigi Billone focuses almost obsessively on a mechanical detail of the electric guitar, places it under microscopic inspection and follows its fascination in a Zen-like ritual. And to do this, all he requires is the guitarist’s left hand.
