MUSIC & PERFORMANCES

Hanoi- Multimedia Concert “Streaks”


Mar 16, 8 pm,

Institut Français de Hanoi – L’Espace, 24 Trang Tien Street, Hoan Kiem district

“Streaks” approaches the topic of the role and image of women in five compositions by Luong Hue Trinh, a 34-year-old female multimedia composer and electroacoustic music performer from Hai Duong province.

Each piece is based on a different approach. From precise and detailed standard notation to the flexibility of graphic scores as well as pieces between through-composed- and improvisation.

Elements of traditional music are interpolated to blend with electronic sounds, combined with photographs, videos and texts to narrate these intricate relations filled with loneliness and torment.
