Francesco Tristano with special guest Michel Portal

«Tokyo Stories»

Francesco Tristano piano, electronics
Special Guest:
Michel Portal bass clarinet

For the first year of the «Urban» series, Francesco Tristano created a digital urban architecture based on Bach’s Goldberg Variations; this year he treads the path of urbanity with a declaration of love for the Japanese capital: «Tokyo Stories». His unmistakable piano sound is accompanied by samples he captured in that megacity, and above all by bass clarinet player Michel Portal, guest star on this November 9. With this mixture of miniature art in the famous Haiku style and rambling musical frescos, the Luxembourgish pianist transports his audience to the land of the rising sun.
