January 26, 2023 concert – MX4L
(MAX for Live) powerful interface for sound generation
Explorers of digital tools Philippe Limoge, Patrice Héral and Jean-Luc Lehr play and improvise in a “Transgenre” musical flow. The different materials of musical writing are conceived as active and organized in time. The “MX4L” project takes us into a futuristic, expressionist movement, sometimes with almost abstract overtones, all in real time.
