Playlist #1 – Festival 33,7

Dates :
  • samedi 17 septembre 2022
Lieu : SMALL HALL @Kulturfabrik (Esch/Alzette)

Playlist curated by Pascal Meyer (*LU, 1979)
“While searching for hints on contemporary classical music from Cabo Verde, Senegal or Cameroon, I quickly realized I was on the wrong track. One cannot apply western criteria of what contemporary music represents here and apply them onto countries and regions that have completely different historical and cultural backgrounds. There had to be other kinds of new music from Niger, Irak, Afghanistan or India, but who created them and where to find it? The key was to find artists that create music out of their performance practice. That’s when I hit the gold mine: the website syrphe.com created by Cedrik Fermont (also known as C-drík Fermont or Kirdec); a platform that focuses on music in the field of electronic music, noise, avant-garde, contemporary classical, electro-acoustic, industrial, experimental, sound art (…) specially from Africa and Asia but not exclusively. The playlist I created for this event, is an eclectic mix of all these fascinating musics I discovered through hours of listening to artists from Algeria, Syria, Ethiopia, Egypt, Iran and many more nationalities that represent the many different communities of the vibrant city of Esch/Alzette.“ – Pascal Meyer
