This
is a workshop for singers and instrumentalists who like to sing!
Géraldine Eguiluz will share her unique and dynamic approach to
improvising as a vocalist. Come and bring your instruments, your
voice, and your spirit for an inspiring and insightful workshop with
one of the country's most amazing improvising singers!
Voice
of the earth, with echoes of jazz and south-american music, making
nymphs and spirits of the ages come to life, it is in the heart
of transformation, idioms and languages, people and memories, that
Géraldine Eguiluz has created music for the last twenty years.
Mrs.
Eguiluz has been on a roll since the late eighties, with ensembles
going from solo to chamber orchestras, with the Mexican collectives
Tritonia and Bacaanda Multimedia (1996-2003), New York
and Canadian ensembles in the last decade: The Kitchen House Blend
(2004) Yumbotik Trio (2008) Lafayette String Quartet (2011)
Albedo (2009-2011) Firey Strings Company (2013), SEA
Trio (2013) Ensemble Arkea (2013).
These ensembles have included the likes of Sean Conly, Michaël
Attias, Satoshi Takeishi, Isaiah Cecaarelli, Ellwood Epps, Scott
Thomson and Yves Charuest.
She
works in the experimental, improvisation, musique actuelle and jazz
scenes, but her music has the print of latinamerican, afro-american,
aboriginal and contemporary sounds. Eguiluz's multidisciplinary
collaborations include video, theatre, danse and circus, recorded
electronic and multimedia music, but she mostly composes for
acoustic instruments. She has produced her own recordings with her
group Tritonia in México, and her canadian recordings Time
of Light and Rubedo’ ro are soon to be released on the
Malasartes Label; both are distributed by actuellecd.com,
Eguiluz
is currently collaborationg with Montréal's avant-garde musicians
like the Joker noise choir, and she concentrates composing and
singing for her band Rubedo’ ro, as well as her duo with
bassist Stéphane Diamantakiou.
Citizen
of the world, Eguiluz was born in México, and grew up in Colombia,
Portugal and France, and as a musician, toured Italy, Germany, USA,
Cuba, Venezuela and Brasil. She emmigrated to Québec city in 2006
and moved to Montreal in 2011. She has played with well known
musicians,
but keeps her path on present and on welcoming what is to come.
The
workshop is open to musicians of all backgrounds and levels of
experience, and will be taught in French and English. Piano, drums,
p.a. and some amplifiers will be provided for you on-site.
