| "Cellorhythmics
Acoustic Project was a monthly series of 10 concerts, devised
by James Hesford and the classical cellist Alfia Nakipbekova
in collaboration with film maker/designer Chiara Ambrosio.
Each
episode featured a new composition and a new instrument was
added to the ensemble. As the series continued the group grew
organically from a quartet to a small orchestra - WCM (Working
Classical Music)Orchestra,
The
concept of synchronicity and chance played an important part
in the creative process. Like using found objects in sculpture,
harmonic and rhythmic material, titles and even additional
instruments were sourced from whatever presented itself as
a “happy accident”. The theme for each Episode
was derived from the title (“a found object”)
of a new composition" |
