Artist details
Info
Much more than mix, the show AXIAL intends to connect art and ideas
through music. Sandra Ximenez (vocals and keyboard) and Felipe Julian
(basses and computers) joined with sax and clarinet player Leonardo
Muniz Correa to present a show which suggests new ways of listening,
joining electronic and electroacustic music, world music, literature
and technology.. This connection inspires the audience to rediscover
the capacity to listen in a creative way. A new language inspired by
ancient tongue. Inspired by Sandra Ximenez's ten years of
etnico-musical research, the repertoire intermixes the group's original
compositions with recriations of traditional music from Brazil, Haiti
and Africa. Why we are able to understand music sung in a unknown
language? Where is the meeting point between traditional and
contemporary? The union between art and technology may even not be of
such great importance to art but it will certainly be fundamental for
technology as a way to allow it to have more human features and to
present it as a playful object and not only as a tool. The artistic
initiatives that, like Axial, make use of computerized resources
somehow contribute to the formation of a society whose creative
interests are not only intended to generate wealth. Our aim is to
propose an interdisciplinary esthetical dialogue between music and
other forms of plastic arts manifestations such as painting, web-art,
sculpture, performance or installations so as to create a special and
visually oneiric universe for these songs.
