"Renowned French alto sax and organ player Jean-Luc Guionnet is also an outstanding composer. "One for One" is a work that Guionnet composed in 2015. Santiago-based guitarist Cristian Alvear (born in 1979) is active on the contemporary classical and experimental music scenes inside and outside Chile. Juan Sebastian Lach (born in 1970) is a composer and keyboard player from Mexico. In 2013 Lach released the album "ISLAS," a collection of his chamber music compositions, on Navona Records.
This CD's single track is a performance of "One for One" by Alvear (on electric guitar) and Lach (on computer). The 41-minute performance is made up of the two musicians' soft resonance and silence."-Ftarri
Artist Biographies
• Show Bio for Jean-Luc Guionnet "Jean-Luc Guionnet is an elusive figure. A Parisian artist active in many fields (music, visual arts, cinema), he has mostly worked in electro-acoustics but also has a career in free improvisation, playing alto saxophone, soprano saxophone, church organ, and piano. He has collaborated with Éric La Casa, Éric Cordier, and André Almuro on tape music. His main free improv and jazz projects include Hubbub, Schams, Return of the New Thing, and the Joe Rosenberg quintet. Guionnet made scientific studies before shifting to fine arts. He studied musique concrete under Iannis Xenakis and Michel Zbar, but also pursued studies in philosophy (esthetics) with Geneviève Clancy. His first works date from the late '80s and are mostly collaborations with filmmaker André Almuro (some have been issued by Ground Fault). Then came a lasting partnership with electro-acousticians Éric Cordier and Éric La Casa. Together they wrote the series "Afflux." Guionnet also produces the Ateliers de Création Radiophoniques ("creative radio workshops") for France Culture. His eclecticism has kept him at bay of recognition -- because to the eye of the press it strips him from some credibility and because running careers in philosophy (he was co-director for the review Terre des Signes from 1993 to 1996), painting (he exhibited from 1992 to 1997), and music simultaneously tends to be time-consuming. The release of an eponymous CD by Dan Warburton's free jazz quartet Return of the New Thing in 1999 on the respected label Leo Records introduced Guionnet to a wider audience. Since then his activities as an improviser have constantly stretched toward the fringes of experimentalism. His participation in the French-Swiss group Hubbub and his duo with guitarist Olivier Benoit (&Un, 2002) follow the school of Berlin reductionism." ^ Hide Bio for Jean-Luc Guionnet • Show Bio for Cristian Alvear Chilean musician dedicated to the performance, premiere and recording of new music. He serves as co-curator of the Experimental Music Festival Relincha, in Valdivia, Chile. Since the beginning of his career he has been constantly performing in the main auditoriums and concert halls of his country, as well as international festivals and concert venues. In recent years he has concentrated its efforts in performing educational concerts in rural areas of the Los Lagos region, in Southern Chile. His work has been published by edition wandelweiser records (germany), irritable hedgehog (usa), cathnor (uk), rhizome.S (france), potlatch (france), 1000fŸssler (germany), lengua de lava (mexico), caduc (canada), melange editions (japan), b-boim records (austria) and erstclass (usa)." ^ Hide Bio for Cristian Alvear • Show Bio for Juan Sebastian Lach "Composer and keyboard player Juan Sebastián Lach Lau's recent instrumental and electroacoustic music, as well as sound installations, are based on algorithmic processes and harmonic microtonal inquiries, a field in which he obtained a doctorate in artistic research at the University of Leiden, Holland, in 2012. He has a bachelor's (2003) and a master's (2005) degree from the Royal Conservatory in The Hague, Holland, and for the past four years has taught composition at the Las Rosas Conservatory in Morelia, Mexico. He has been involved in jazz and rock groups (Psicotrûpicos, Santa Sabina) and has composed music for theatre, film and radio. His music has been played and recorded by diverse groups in various countries." ^ Hide Bio for Juan Sebastian Lach
