Le collectif HodeKestra, fondé en 2005 et dirigé par Philippe Hode-Keyser, s’est attribué comme
mandat original de favoriser une vision élargie de la musique improvisée et ordurière. Ce collectif
hétéroclite, composé de plus de vingt artistes, vous propose une intervention musicale et visuelle;
génératrice de pensées et de sensations nouvelles incitant une écoute active et profonde, permettant
l'éveil des sens dans un univers de timbres, de rythmes, de formes et d'harmonies insolites.
Leur solidarité appartient à cette prévalence du critère performatif dans le savoir. Leur puissance
pragmatique d’ensemble repose sur l’insertion de l’inconscience collective, l'éclosion d’un monde
onirique, l'excentricité de l’imaginaire et l’exploration de nouveaux thèmes d’inspiration. Avidité
insatiable à la découverte de nouvelles syntaxes musicales, au partage de leurs acquis, l'expression
par l'édiction de nouvelles normes voire l’essentiel de leur raison d'être.
The collective HodeKestra, founded in 2005 and directed by Philippe Hode-Keyser, has the original
mandate to promote a broader vision of garbage, improvised, lowest-fi music. This heterogeneous
group, consisting of more than twenty-five artists, offers a musical and visual intervention that is generator
of thoughts and new sensations; encouraging an active and deep listening to awaken the senses whithin
a world of new and unusual forms.
Their solidarity belongs to the prevalence of their performative criteria in knowledge. Their pragmatic
power is set based on the insertion of the collective unconscious, the birth of a dream world, the
eccentricity of the imagination and the exploration of new themes for inspiration. Insatiable greed to
explore new musical syntax, to share their acquired and to express throught the enactment of new
standards; the essence of their raison d'être.
