About the event
Trialogues are improvised collaborative exchanges inside a set time limit between 3 protagonists unconditionally dedicated to their chosen mode of expression: Joris to his nomadic poetry in its wandering, rhizomatic explorations; Peyrafitte to her nourishing, sensual, campy and scintillating multi-layered vocal range & texts ; Bisio to the extraordinary tonal beauty and intensity of the very personal musical language of his double bass.

“Whisk! Don’t Churn”

cd release concert

This concert celebrates the CD release of the live recording of their November 20th 2008 concert . Tonight they will offer a selection of Peyrafitte’s originals, contemporary poetry/texts by Pierre Joris, Henri Michaux, Frida Kahlo, Occitan songs and their signature song…or is it a dish? As Pierre Joris writes in the liner notes: “This CD is the live recording of an emulsion: bass & voice whisking words & music — & real cream on track # 6 — ‘La crème de la crème,’ you might say! Whisk! Don’t churn! celebrates that rare occasion: a profoundly original quest.
