Video: Nina Garcia / Fred Frith - Instants Chavirés - 10/10/2024 - Full video, complete concert !
Fred Frith 75th birthday year aux Instants Chavirés
Mariachi is Parisian guitarist Nina Garcia’ solo project, started in March 2015. Mariachi experiments between improvised and noise music. The setup is ultra minimal: 1 guitar, 1 pedal, 1 amp. Everything is focused on the gesture and the sound research of the instrument: its resonances, limits, expansions, impurities, all the audible parts of the guitar: to go with or against it, to contain it or to let it go, to support it or to hurt it. You’ll probably find: feedback, crackling, short circuits, impacts, harmonics, grindings noises, overflowings, notes and an almost perfect chord.

Fred Frith. Henry Cow, Residents, Robert Wyatt, Naked City, Brian Eno, Ensemble Modern, Art Bears, Amy Denio, Violent Femmes, Heiner Goebbels, Skeleton Crew, Massacre, just to name a few points of reference. English guitarist, multi-instrumentalist, composer and improviser, one of the most long-lived and vital characters in a field of action that ranges from pure improvisation to rock, from composition to daring New York and Japanese creative forms.
This is brilliant. Thanks for sharing 🎸
