Ce samedi 03 mai, Rhodri Davies était de passage à Point Culture Bruxelles et nous interprétait une pièce d'Eliane Radigue.
Le harpiste gallois se confronte au concept traditionnel de harpe par l'utilisation de préparations, de cordes désaccordées ou frottées ainsi que du e-bow. On décèle l'influence de la musique électronique live ou de la musique concrète dans ses intérêts et dans sa recherche du bruit, du silence, de la texture et du son abstrait sur son instrument acoustique. Parallèlement à ses performances en solo, Davies travaille étroitement avec John Butcher, Evan Parker, Chris Burn, Mark Wastell, Ingar Zach et Eliane Radigue.

'Rhodri Davies plays harp, electric harp, live-electronics and builds wind, water, ice and fire harp installations. He has released three solo albums: Trem, Over Shadows and Wound Response. His regular groups include: a duo with John Butcher, a trio with David Toop and Lee Patterson, Cranc, a duo with Richard Dawson, The Sealed Knot, Common Objects and a trio with John Tilbury and Michael Duch. In 2008 he collaborated with the visual artist Gustav Metzger on 'Self-cancellation', a large-scale audio-visual collaboration in London and Glasgow. New pieces for solo harp have been composed for him by: Eliane Radigue, Phill Niblock, Christian Wolff, Ben Patterson, Alison Knowles, Mieko Shiomi and Yasunao Tone. In 2012 he was the recipient of the Foundation for Contemporary Arts, Grants to Artists Award."
