    Conference by Bertrand Chavarría-Aldrete

    Plastic Extension of Music

    Plastic Extension of Music is a creative tool for performers to deactivate the historical weight of the praxis in classical music, creating new ideas, grounds and platforms for a different kind of performance. These new metaphorical vehicles allow the performer with its hands to translate the language, gestures and embodied knowledge outside the instrument in other forms of art, rethinking the music and the performance, while emancipating classical music and its performers from our long tradition.

    The creative criticism inside Plastic Extension creates infinite and autopoietic methodologies to approach the performance of classical music, allowing an expansion of the music outside the instrument, deepening the practice and creating new knowledge from a different perspective: the plasticity and embodied knowledge of the musical gesture.

    Bertrand Chavarria-Aldrete (Lyon, 1978) is an artist with various working methods all originating in sound: performance, composition, poetry, theatre, plastic, and visual arts. Since 2015, his work has extended to include the plastic arts developing a new type of interpretation, an intervention in music performance: “Plastic Extension of Music”.
