Ilan Barkani and Eli Korman host Yoni Gotlibovich, together presenting a concert of written and improvised music: In two improvisations, and two pieces which include audio materials made of edited and manipulated recordings of live instruments – the musicians are able to meet themselves, and each other, for a diverse and expanded collaboration.

Program

Acoustic Improvisation
Yoni Gotlibovich – cello
Eli Korman – saxophone
Ilan Barkani – percussion

Ilan Barkani – Micromirroring 1.2 (2019/2022)
For saxophone, cello and fixed audio

The piece invites the players to dive into the minute details of the sounds of their instruments, and to communicate with them, as well as with each other, choosing freely from a limited and minimal musical vocabulary.

Amplified Improvisation
Yoni Gotlibovich – cello
Eli Korman – saxophone
Ilan Barkani – percussion

Eli Korman – Tough Love (2022)
For cello and fixed audio

Through the amalgamation of amplified live playing with the audio of edited cello recordings, and through the use of a small number of materials, the piece seeks to create a sonic world which surrounds and envelops the audience like a bear hug of sorts, shifting between a warm and protective embrace to a suffocating aggressive intensity.

The piece was commissioned by Meitar Ensemble, and is dedicated to Yoni Gotlibovich who premiered it at CEME Festival 2022.
