Portraits by Alix Tucou
With "Portraits" I change my point of view and present myself as a painter capable of painting musical portraits.
This modus operandi places the figure of the musician in close relationship with the figure of a visual artist who does not use colors and canvases but a bass trombone and soundscapes.
I adopt the same compositional language as my first album "Technology and Bones" thus continuing my research started in 2015, shortly before my move to New York.
In "Portraits" the focus is on a work of sound collages that intend to tell the personality of an individual or the essence of an object.

With Interactions between soundscapes and electronic music elements, I improvise with my Bass Trombone to create an imaginary path to different entities or concepts.
My latest work is focusing on portraying Visual Artists with rendering in Music the specific emotion that struck me while studying and looking at the work of those Visual Artists.
