Hanoi New Music Festival 2013 introduces 2 performances: Homelands and At East of myself, Remind me I’m one
HOMELANDS

Date & Time: 6pm – Monday, Dec. 2nd 2013
Venue: Manzi – 14 Phan Huy Ich
In the beginning of September 2013, the đàn tranh player Nguyễn Thanh Thủy went to Ngang Nội in the Bắc Ninh Province with Stefan Östersjö and Matthew Sansom from the Landscape Quartet. In Bắc Ninh, both of her parents grew up in the same small village of Ngang Nội, famed for Quan Họ the folk music tradition of love songs that emerge from the province and has had some of its most famous tradition bearers specifically in this little village. With a wish to revisit sites known from childhood and interact with the soundscape of the present day the three musicians worked up on the mountains around the village and on the rice fields. The two works presented at Manzi’s in december draw on material from both settings. In the rice fields where she used to work as a child and catch grasshoppers to grill in the night, Thủy put her đàn tranh upside down to let the rice play it. Up on the mountain, Stefan Östersjö stringed his đàn đáy to three trees and played the instrument together with the wind in the trees. The installations at Manzi’s created by Matthew Sansom and Stefan Östersjö aim at capturing the complexity of the interactions between the musicians and the landscape and of the intense sonorities of the Vietnamese countryside.

AT EAST OF MYSELF, REMIND ME I’M ONE
Duo Camusi
(Italy)
Date & time: 8pm – Monday, Dec. 2nd 2013
Venue: DomDom – 3rd Floor, Block A, 9 Tran Thanh Tong, Hanoi.
Duo Camusi play free contemporary improvisation: voice, electronics and drums have the same importance, following a sort of instrumental democracy. In their duets they develop different layers and perspectives. Camusi’s “At East Of Myself, Remind Me I’m One” is a performance where both musicians will play some Vietnamese objects, collected during the days before the concert, to be played beside their usual instruments. Patrizia Oliva’s research is aimed on a redefinition of contemporary singer that often includes gesture. Her exploration on electronics includes noise, field recordings and voice loops. Stefano Giust’s drumming focuses on rhythmic pulse and its destruction, along with embracing powerful rough angularity, asymmetrical rhythms, noise, silence, timbric intensity and extended techniques. He avoids most clichés, nevertheless he manages to transmit a pulsation that doesn’t derive from a single beat, but by assembling several rhythmic such as “micro events”.
Drums, cymbals, objects: Stefano Giust
Vocal, electronics, contact microphone: Patrizia Oliva
