ONZE AMBASSADE FESTIVAL 2022 — Nina Garcia & Maria Bertel

The duo of french guitarist Nina Garcia and danish trombonist Maria Bertel are an extremely unique example of improvisation through electroacoustic instrumentation. While employing very different musical instruments of vastly different musical heritages, they use them to violently pave way to new unexplored sonic territory, with a ferociousness and confidence both intimidating and impressive. Their understanding and control of their instruments is highly developed, and the language they communicate between themselves with, personal and unique. The musical and performative result is comparable to power tools hacking away at the structures of tradition.
