Description
The album "plastic love" traces five years since establishing a wonderfully symbiotic artistic relationship with Santiago Diez Fischer. lovemusic had already played "solo veras ahora" (2014) and "no son mas silenciosos los espejos" (2010) after which we decided to commission a new piece for wind trio for a concert that we were producing in Strasbourg resulting in "plastic love" (2020). For us, the essence and joy of creating music with Santiago is simplicity - the starting point isn't a complicated or intellectual idea that the music then tries to emulate or uphold, but something simple that changes and evolves as we all go through the creative process together. The premier of "plastic love" was a plastic party - plastic clothes, plastic cubes, plastic curtains and, of course, Santiago's beloved boxes. During a break whilst rehearsing "plastic love" with Santiago we began improvising using the instruments like pressure valves, creating air sounds. Santiago got involved exploring the possibilities and parameters of what we were doing (this is what has become "intermezzo ii" on the album) and it was clear from this point that there was a mutual appreciation of working collaboratively and that there would be more projects to come.
lovemusic is a collective of musicians specialised in new music based in Strasbourg. Working with composers on new and exciting works that will enrich the musical world is at the heart of what we do. We want to dismantle the patriarchal and hierarchical systems engrained in the new music world, creating a safe and inclusive environment in which musicians can decide for themselves how they contribute to each project, the music they want to perform and the composers they wish to work with. The members of lovemusic have diverse backgrounds and tastes which nourish the choices of the music we perform.
Santiago Diez Fischer's music searches for an organic sonority that combines instrumental acoustic sounds and objects with a very personal use of electronics: a "tactile" music that invites the listener to explore its plasticity. Fischer is a professor of composition at the Conservatory of Pantin in Paris.
