Musica Nuvolosa

After its reading of Julius Eastman’s Feminine, released in 2021, the Ensemble 0 revisit the repertoires of Pauline Oliveros and György Ligeti from another angle. From the works of Oliveros, they exhumed a deeply meditative piece for accordion and voice, giving it a new life in the form of vaporous, cloud-riding chamber music. With Ligeti, the piano radicalism of the Musica Ricercata miniatures crops up again in a new and as yet unreleased orchestration
The Ensemble 0 (pronounced zero) is a collective created in 2004 whose full-time members are Stéphane Garin, Joël Merah and Sylvain Chauveau.
