ENSEMBLE NIST-NAH
The music is grounded in Guthrie's travels in Indonesia and study of various forms of Gamelan music. The ensemble branches out in new directions, using metallaphones, hand drums and gongs from the Gamelan ensembles of Indonesia, alongside drum kit and other percussions. Bringing together 10 of France's finest, Nist-Nah represents a wealth of experience and expertise, and comes from diverse backgrounds in both traditional music, modern percussion, noise and free jazz fanatics. The ensemble presents equal parts of Guthrie's musical interests in free jazz, electroacoustic music and various experimental musical practices, exploring long tones, extended techniques, and non-metered pulse.
