New Music Collective presents Ensemble Pamplemousse
Founded in 2002 as a vehicle for musical exploration, Ensemble Pamplemousse presents concerts of extraordinary focus and clarity. Comprised of virtuosic musicians trained in classical, electronic, and improvisational realms, the group consistently delivers fresh, exhilarating new concepts in sound. The members' eagerness for aural discovery has allowed for ample experimentation processes, where boundaries are non-existent, and from which a strong dialogue has emerged. Among the group's vernacular resides formerly unfathomable sound landscapes formed by the acute relationships the performers have forged with each other, and with the composers who are an intrinsic part of the ensemble. The product, uncompromising and resolutely beautiful, is created by incredibly innovative, yet-to-be-named approaches to performance and
composition.
SUPER [soo-per](noun, adj., prefix): amplification and processing systems for Pamplemousse that cater specifically to quietly noisy crickle-crackle sounds.
Pamplemousse presents a night of brand new works written by and for the group and its new system of electronic processing that allow them to go by the name Super Pamplemousse. Half of the members of the group have been in Charleston before. Andrew Greenwald played at Redux with Rueben Radding and Jacob Wick in late 2007. Jessie Marino was here to perform with Red Light New Music in early 2008. And Natacha Diels played a solo show in March of this year. With their close musical compatriots Kiku Enomoto and David Broome in tow they will present a unique concert.
Also, before the concert there will be an educational presentation wherein they’ll explain the creative process they use to dissect an instrument’s sound and compose for the individual parts (of the sound). They’ll also discuss the superinstruments and how they are built and used to augment their compositions. This educational talk is FREE with help from a grant from the Coastal Community Foundation!
