Christine Sehnaoui & Magda Mayas - Teeming

Christine Sehnaoui: alto saxophone
Magda Mayas: piano

"Magda Mayas and Christine Abdelnour Sehnaoui both play acoustic music that is diametral, a space they conquered by changing the traditional ways of their instruments: modern alchemy. Together they express a strong physical experience. Mayas is a master of sparse fragments of motion and Sehnaoui works in a flux of changing sounds. The multiple layers of their performance create a shivering moment of existence, which reminds me of the words of the Danish artist Malene Bach: "Art finds its own relevance in forming the alternative space, where utopias, dreams, intentions and everything, that we cannot agree exists, can articulate itself and take place." (Thomas Millroth)
