Mit navn er Xavier Bonfill – vil du se min playliste? »Musik for mig er det, der gør verden større. Det, der rummer utallige realiteter, skønheder og modsigelser. Noget, der foregår over tid, men som er tidløst.«

"Music for me is what makes the world bigger. What holds countless realities, beauties and contradictions. Something that takes place over time, but is timeless."

I made a little #playlist for #seismograf

Xavier Bonfill beretter fra Ircam Forum Xavier Bonfill blev på baggrund af et Open Call i januar udvalg til at deltage i Ircam Forum. Vi har bedt ham fortælle lidt om det projekt, han præsenterede dertil, og hvad han fik ud af at deltage.

#ArtMusicDenmark invited me to participate at #IRCAMforum, where I presented my project "vssl", a "perceptual #sampler and #granular #synthesizer "

The instrument is designed for my upcoming work series "(vessels)": coming later this year.

24 from 24

Yes, it’s already 25, but here’s my 24 favorite records from 24.

Yes, a couple of those are from 23.

I am slow sometimes.

Alphabetic order. Music is not a competition :)

Tak for ophold Dansk Komponistforening 🙏✨

I spent the last half of November and the first half of December in the idyllic Tuscania, 80km north of Rome 🇮🇹

It made me remember the true color of the sky 💙, and provided with the right frame to cook some new music 👨‍🍳… and I got some cute visits as well 🥺
