Dispars

Clara Lévy is a French violinist and improviser whose career has focused mainly on “creative” music. For several years now, she has been developing solo projects, questioning in turn the conditions of listening and the dramaturgy of the concert (Outre-Nuit), or the sometimes blurred boundaries between interpretation and composition (13 Visions).

Her musical career oscillates between collaborations with European ensembles, composers and one-off projects such as Dispars with Alexis Degrenier.

Alexis Degrenier lives and works near Clermont-Ferrand. After studying classical percussion and composition, he decided to take paths as multiple as they are distant, invoking the music of G. Ligeti, the metric systems of Maqam and Middle Eastern music, the pulsations of everyday mechanics, the music of Central France and the study of oblique listening to sound spaces. In this way, he learns as much from oral tradition as from written music in his instrumental practice, and decides to combine forms for his solo for percussion and objects ‘Mouvements fantômes, membres miroirs’, where time is transformed into durations to become an (in)exhausted beat, a solo he wishes to move according to spaces and possibilities.
