Evan Parker and Walter Prati. Sax and electronics

Evan Parker is a figure who needs no introduction: a historical exponent of the European avant-garde, inventor of a very personal use of circular breathing, a wind instrument technique that allows for a virtually infinite emission of sound, he was a central figure of the English scene first and then of the European one, forming an important artistic partnership with the historic ECM label.
Walter Prati, cellist and electronic musician, has been working since the 70s on the integration between acoustic instruments and electronics, an ideal terrain for meeting Parker. The two in fact founded the Electroacoustic Ensemble, an extended group directed by Parker that wants to explore the possibilities of real-time processing of the audio signal in an improvisational context.
The duo will bring the experience of the extended group into a more intimate context, dialoguing in balance between pure improvisation and structures given by the digital sound processing apparatus, a concert of sound research and meditation on electroacoustic music.
