Rhizome

solo concert 

violoncello piccolo, preparations & lo-fi electronic

Rhizome is the concert version of Stéphane Clor's solo. It is built on a variety of possible compositions developed through improvisation. The solo thus takes on a new form with each performance, influenced by the venues and contexts. The prepared piccolo cello is at the center of the performance and is altered by electronic elements (motors, transducers, pedals, amplifiers, etc.). The musician plays close to the audience to enhance the intimacy of listening. Rhizome has been performed in numerous cities across Europe.

Stéphane Clor's solo is a bad weed in constant metamorphosis which impregnates itself with the places which shelter it. He plays a piccolo cello altered by preparations and electronic elements, which makes it a polymorphous and versatile instrument. His soundscapes are composed of granular lines, vibratory incantations and saturated repetitions that the musician sculpts in imperceptible breaks, mapping the moment to reveal its multiplicity.
