Parler avec les mots des autres (duo with Radwan Ghazi Moumneh) – Alexis Degrenier

Alexis Degrenier and Radwan Ghazi Moumneh’s worlds collide.

Creating a collaborative body of work, where we are deconstructing rhythm and meter from the opposing ends of each others musical heritage and constructing, re-constructing and writing new compositions.

Alexis Degrenier‘s work is anchored in melodic rhythms that are delicately assembled to echo the minute and fragile at times, and the roaring and abrasive at others. Wed to melismatic vocalizations from Radwan Ghazi Moumneh and electronic compositions for Buzuk, Dvina and synthesizer, the two composers plan on diving deep into the realm of collaboration.

The two composers have been exchanging ideas and philosophies over the past two years, and are excited at the prospect of this cross cultural collaboration, uniting ideas, methodology, technique and practice that each will bring to the table.
