practice-based artistic research by Lucie Nezri

Lucie’s research at Studio Loos will provide the opportunity to compose a set of new pieces loosely incorporating features of the Maghrebin-Andalusian music tradition from Morocco and Algeria where her family is from.

Last year, Lucie started researching this rather unknown music tradition and making a set of compositions that integrate tuning systems, modes, as well as melodic and rhythmic patterns of Maghrebin-Andalusian music into her own practice, which is grounded in rational tuning, algorithmic/probabilistic methods of composition, and open-form scores.

No doubt the cycle of pieces will end up in a variety of pieces most likely distant from their original source of inspiration.
