ENSAMBLE TROPI PRESENTS «MODULAR»

«Modular» brings together the 8 members of Ensamble Tropi, 6 young composers, and a visual artist, who will creatively explore virtual communication and its possibilities of demonstration, and audiovisual projection. In this way, the Ensamble will present 6 video works specially commissioned for this project to 6 composers, between 24 and 30 years old, from various provinces and geographic regions of the Argentine Republic. Each work will be complemented by a visual narrative by Ramiro Iturríoz, through slogans and common tools. The music will modulate towards the visual universe and its natures, challenging and resignifying each other in a single virtual space. Apart from the videos, Ensamble Tropi will present a debate to reflect on the realities of the region, in relation to composition, musical performance, and the inclusion of new virtual tools. Sound art, in its vital need for projection, crosses screens, cables, and the internet. Virtuality is a tool and never an end in itself: it does not replace the presential, temporal, and spatial nature of the live concert.

Ensamble Tropi is a chamber music ensemble, focused on new music repertoire – spanning from Argentinean and Latin-American to International. It originated in 2008, and since then, it has consolidated as one of the main contemporary music ensembles from Argentina, recognized both by the audience and the specialized press, as well as developing an international projection. Ensamble Tropi also encourages and embraces the production of emerging composers through permanent commissions. Versatility is one of the outstanding traits of the ensemble, actively interacting with new technologies, chamber opera, instrumental theater, as well as other performing arts, besides traditional concert settings.
