On habita l’aire

Concert by the Duo Samkara, formed by flautist Alba Rodríguez and clarinettist Jesús Alcívar, with a classical music programme entitled On habita l’aire.

The duo Samkara brings together Alba Rodríguez on the flute and Jesús Alcívar on the clarinet. The programme On habita l’aire asks what space emerges when sound ceases to be matter and becomes vibration. For the performers, air is an invisible architecture that sustains every note.

Flute and clarinet do not occupy a pre-existing place: they build it in real time, and each note leaves a brief trace that never returns. The duo conceives performance as a sensitive inscription, in which air acts as a surface of memory and dwelling means activating a shared field of resonances.

The group's name alludes to the term samskara and to the idea of a sonic encounter. The programme is presented at Espai Jove Girapells, an exhibition space in Barcelona, and invites attentive listening, made of breath and presence.
