Short abstract:

"E-Guitar with Sauces" brings 9 short guitar pieces and 9 sauces to the stage. A sauce for each piece, a piece for each sauce. I will do the music.

Long abstract:

While listening, the sauce spreads in my mouth, I smell it. E-guitar sounds and sauces are fundamentally similar. Just as acoustic space and mouthspace are similar in dimension and immediacy - both are sudden and infinite.

Just as cooking, probably the oldest artform, is a prerequisite for the eating community and thus for any kind of community, music has only been conceivable as a social phenomenon since the Stone Age (Igneous Rocks, What's Up, Doc?, Bogdanovic, 1972).

Even if the encounters between music and food are rather rare, and when they are, they tend to be supportive there are many historical and conceptual parallels: be it the turn towards the local, the regional, or the handmade of recent times or, before that, the enthusiasm for technology.

"E-Guitar with Sauces" brings 9 short guitar pieces and 9 sauces to the stage. A sauce for each piece, a piece for each sauce. The idea came from Zappa's noodly guitar playing. Together, Ribas and Binner developed sauces and pieces together, referring to each other, exploring different relationships: accompanying, contrasting, cancerous, priming, running into each other...

Musically and sauce-wise, it's a colorful evening - the strictness of the instrumentation and texture is juxtaposed with a range of different music and sauces.

Just as the flavorful density and complexity of sauces is created through the stimulation of ever-changing chemical reactions, guitar playing is condensed through loops that build up, through simultaneous, technically different feedback methods. Tone and sauce are extended, layered, drifting, straddling.
