in duo/trio

Soy Tierra

Borja Flames, voice, tar, objects, Barbara Dang, piano

The Spanish composer and singer Borja Flames and the pianist and improviser Barbara Dang met during a tribute to Moondog. From this encounter, Soy Tierra was born, a project exploring contemporary South American and Spanish poems (Cristina Peregrina, Edgar Luján, Berta García Faet...). Borja Flames blends singing inspired by Iberian traditions with spoken-word, while Barbara Dang experiments with a piano enriched by various sound elements (stone, metal, wood...). Together, they weave a sonic universe between introspection, the cosmos, and human relationships.

Tombée for harpsichord solo

Jean-Luc Guionnet composition, Barbara Dang performance

Tombée is a composition by Jean-Luc Guionnet dedicated to Barbara Dang and her double-manual harpsichord. This project blends various musical influences and revisits the baroque dance suite using innovative playing techniques. It is a musical labyrinth, where each note represents a step in a complex structure, and the harpsichord becomes a space to explore. A metaphor for the musical quest, where the exploration is as important as the destination.

Duo AGNel/DANg

Sophie Agnel, Barbara Dang, four-hand piano

Abdou/Dang/Orins

Sakina Abdou, saxophones, flute, Barbara Dang, piano, Peter Orins, drums

A trio. A saxophone. A piano. A drum kit. Notes. Noise. Maybe melodies. Definitely repetitive. Altered instruments. Pure sounds. Reversed timbres. Depth, backgrounds. Maybe some foreground too. Minimal. But full. Organic, humid, alive. Suspended, tense, delicate. Time stops, yet continues. Sakina Abdou, Barbara Dang, and Peter Orins use minimalist techniques and very low volumes to explore the timbres and extended techniques of their instruments

Deux( )

Gordon Pym, objects, electronics, Barbara Dang, piano, objects, electronics

KEZN

The Kezn project aims to revisit notable compositional processes in experimental music and derive a visual equivalent. The goal is not to provide images for music or to visualize musical effects, but to treat sound and light through a unique process. The constraints of each medium and our senses shape the contours of this analogy.

DAN/GO

Barbara Dang, piano, virginal, Raphaël Godeau, guitar, mandolin

DAN / GO is a piano-guitar duo. The music is improvised. The piano is open, and the guitar has six strings. Together, they create a blend of resonances that smell of wood and metal heated by hand.
