An exceptional concert by Titanic, the spellbinding musical project of Guatemalan cellist and singer Mabe Fratti and multi-instrumentalist Héctor Tosta, on the occasion of their new release.
Based in Mexico City, the two artists work together to create a deeply sensitive and experimental world of sound, combining strings, voices, synthesizers and electronic textures. Their debut album, Vidrio, explores fragility in all its forms - a powerful, delicate and intimate work.
The duo take over the Fondation for a rare concert: with Titanic, music becomes porous matter, shot through with tension and poetic outbursts. Live, this alchemy takes on its full dimension.
The concert is preceded by an opening performance by the artist Elizabeth Vogler, whose musical practice is closely linked to image and narrative.
The music is a mixture of chamber-jazz, art-pop, and in some songs a little of what's called ‘post-minimalism’ portraying some sort of mischievous elegance reflecting the complex and very specific color palette of Tosta’s harmonic and compositional choices. The project is marked by some improvisational energy, cinematic depth, expansive jazz-inspired arrangements, and a compelling interplay between beauty and tension. Titanic crafts immersive, unclassifiable music that feels joyous and unrestrained.
Between 2015 and 2021, Elizabeth Vogler built her sound identity. She studied musicology, trained in electroacoustic composition and sang in several polyphonic ensembles.
Elizabeth Vogler focuses on memory, things seen, sounds felt, captured and then metamorphosed - sometimes in a random process - to produce a rich, textured and multiform yet harmonious assemblage. From composition to live performance comes the experience of escaping from a fixed form, leaving plenty of room for improvisation, both vocal and electronic.
As for her vocal practice, it is constantly on the move, in search of new sensations of body and sound. After immersing herself for a long time in the magic of Bulgarian songs and experimenting with this vocal technique with a soloist from the Mystère des Voix Bulgares, Elizabeth turned to the Occitan tradition in Béarn, where she grew up, although she remains a child of ethereal pop. Today, her incantatory melismas are not intended to mean anything, in any direct or formal way, other than through the emotion and sensations they release.
