Distractfold : music against lockdown

UK-based ensemble, Distractfold, are a group of performers, composers and curators all acting out of shared love, passion and interest in the music and culture of our times. Coming from different continents, backgrounds and having received a diverse education, together they create a nexus of ideas and influences which all contribute towards the ensemble’s unique voice and identity. They perform acoustic, mixed and electroacoustic music of their peers, alongside music of the more established composers with whom they have formed close collaborations and friendships. How was the Distractfold project born ? The project was thought up by Distractfold members, Sam Salem (co-artistic director) and Daniel Brew (guitarist and producer). Does the project match what you...

Eda Er & Simon Sieger: when music comes before words

Soon after having met and decided that working together was almost as obvious as if it had been predestined, fate decided otherwise and the pandemic struck worldwide. Being isolated each in their country (France for Simon Sieger and Turkey for Eda Er), their only option was to make music together but separated by distance. The context shaped their project as much as their will. The songs became symbols of their state of mind at the time of the playing, each improvising off of the improvised track of the other. It became a correspondence of emotions sent through sound, speaking the words that live within words, which cannot be spoken with our mouths....

News from… Giuseppe Gammino!

Who are our artists' label? How did they discover contemporary music and do they have mentors? Let's learn more from them! It's Giuseppe Gammino's turn. Where do you come from? I am an Italian composer. Do you remind you how your beginnings in music were? My first piece performed in public was "Quasi un divertimento", for flute and violoin, written in 2012 (when I was still a student) and performed in 2013. The piece was written to participate in a composition competition; on that occasion I did not win, but the piece arrived among the six finalists performed in a public concert.
