Andrea Balency-Béarn

You can now watch the performance film of Mappings in full, beautifully performed by Plus-Minus Ensemble and directed by Anna Francesca Jennings, on my website www.andreabalency-bearn.com (link in bio).

Through self-regulating systems in which performed sound, electronics and score are interconnected in real time, MAPPINGS takes three field recordings, one made in London and two in Mexico City, as raw materials which are mapped onto the ensemble over the course of the piece.

Very proud of what we achieved. Thank you again @mshlomowitz, @mark_knoop, and @plusminusensemble for your trust and inspiring artistry.
