Christine Sehnaoui & Pascal Battus

 30 June, Gromka Club

The second day of the Festival commenced where it ended the previous day – at the Gromka Club within the scope of Defonija, presenting Christine Sehnaoui and Pascal Battus, an improvising duo that experiments with microtonality.

This time Battus did not use pure electronica but made sound with rotating devices of his own invention, while pressing various objects against them with varied intensity. With different saxophone breathing techniques Sehnaoui created a sonic arch of considerable breadth, in constant dialogue with Battus’ rotating surfaces yielding at times meditative and serene atmosphere, and then again a dynamic and even deafening tension.
