Noela Coelo Velasco & Garazi Navas – proxima vuelta del faro (next rotation of the lighthouse)

This performance by Noela Covelo Velasco explores the dissection of a body through the voice, and how the voice—examined through its multiple temporalities, fluctuations and textures—is, much like the rotating movement of lighthouse lamps, closely linked to memory. On this occasion, the piece is presented in collaboration with accordionist Garazi Navas, whose approach to the accordion is characterised by an intense physicality. The air within the accordion is compressed and stretched to create masses of sound that appear and disappear. Voice and accordion interact on a physical and material level, shaping sound with meticulous care and attention, connecting it to gesture, memory and time.

Matacandil, a violin duo comprising Llum Tourdion and Miguel Molina. Their approach focuses on the exploration of electronic music through their acoustic instruments, whilst revisiting—sometimes with nostalgia, at other times with a defiant attitude—the sounds inherent to the instrument. Far from adhering to traditional interpretations of the violin’s language, their aim is to explore its nuances by navigating diverse soundscapes, studying original sources and deconstructing them.
