Konzert: Marina, Poleukhina, Alexander Chernyshkov, Etienne Nillesen

The music of Etienne Nillesen, despite its minimalist approach, achieves a remarkable complexity of sound. Each meticulously crafted note and nuance demands undivided attention and concentration from both the performer and the listener, fostering a deep connection between the two. Through a combination of traditional and extended techniques, he unveils an array of unexplored and unexpected sonic dimensions within the seemingly limited realm of the snare drum. In addition to his solo concerts, his interest in diverse forms of music and art has given him the opportunity to work alongside artists and composers such as Nate Wooley, Axel Dörner, Christian Wolff, Ingar Zach, Christian Wallumrød, Sarah Davachi, MichaelThieke, Marta Warelis, Rudi Mahall, Magda Mayas, Lotte Anker, Lester St.Louis, Elena Rykova, Carl Ludwig Hübsch, Christian Wolfarth, Maya Bennardo, Finn Loxbo, Ryan Packard, Anne La Berge, Kristofer Svensson, Wolter Wierbos, Katherine Young, Eric Wubbels, Sofia Jernberg, Nick Dunston, Kaja Draksler, Sam Pluta, Weston Olencki, Madison Greenstone, Ruud Roelofsen and Zeynep Toraman. https://etiennenillesen.com/
