Alix Tucou - "Music on Canvas"
As a bass trombone player Alix Tucou is able to create abstract worlds of sound with an instrument that sounds at once familiar and totally alien. Processing his instrument through a variety of pedals and extended techniques, Tucou creates layers of sound that seem to assemble themselves around the listener in discernable shapes and colors. To this end, the press release states, “What makes this project unique is certainly the mix of iconic, abstract cube and post-structuralist dimensions. Alix Tucou deconstructs the literal meaning of portrait to insert it in an indeterminate but definitely pragmatic context. From an oxymoron, which is Technology and Bones, Portraits is born: concrete abstraction.”
