Concert of Mouth Harp

Mon 19 Dec 2011, 8.30 pm
Cinematheque

From the organizer:

You are invited to a music night with mouth harp at Cinematheque. Mathias Esnault – a mouth harp virtuoso and a passionate collector, who plays and learns how to make the countless different types and styles of mouth harps existing all over the world. Starting his trip in Iakutia (Siberia), he scoured the countrysides of  Mongolia, China, Laos and Northern Vietnam searching for people playing this instrument.

The style of playing varies totally according to the instrument and its origins; Starting from some norwegian-irish tunes to chinese electronic sounds ending in a sort of indian beatbox, it’s a research of the New inside the Old, a way to rediscover the richness of sounds contained in one of the simplest instruments in the world.
