CONCEPT
SACRILEGE! is an experiment in musical interaction:
A classical voice meets an electric guitar to play masterpieces of Early Music.
Unlike other forms of musical cross-over, SACRILEGE! does not look for a combination of different styles but a true interplay:
What happens to the attitude of a rock guitar when duelling with 400 year old sheet music?
How do classical vocals have to change when infected by amplified and distorted guitar sounds?
SACRILEGE! is a discovery:
When really listening to the ‘other‘ you cannot stay the same!
The result is a fresh transformation of seemingly well-known pieces revealing hidden energies that haven’t been heard before.
lamento della ninfa [Claudio Monteverdi 1638]
in darkness let me dwell [John Dowland 1610]
