N-Ensemble
Electroacoustic sextet with variable geometry
Gathered at Nicolas' initiative in March 2018 for a carte blanche at the AMR in Geneva, the N-Ensemble sextet uses all the geometries of the ensemble as compositional elements, but also as a springboard for improvisation. Using the large instrumentation as well as the skills of each of its members, the N-Ensemble navigates between "chamber" acoustic music and more electric soundscapes. The ensemble is constantly evolving, having received artists and improvisers from a wide range of practices and geographical backgrounds:
Jasper Stadhouders (NL, guitar)
Tim Shaw (UK, electronics & hardware sounds)
Tizia Zimmermann (CH, accordion)
Silvan Schmid (CH, trumpet)
Anne Gillot (CH, recorders, Paezold)
Flo Stoffner (CH, guitar)
Bjørnar Habbestad (NOR, flutes)
Valerio Tricoli (IT, Tape recorder & electronics)
Nicolas Field (CH/UK, drums & electronics)
Thomas Florin (CH, piano)
