A performance-installation by Sandeep Bhagwati for ten musicians at the Musée des beaux-arts de Montréal and The Aga Khan Museum in Toronto, in connection with the Société de musique contemporaine du Québec’s Homage Series and as part of the Future Resonance Festival of New Music Toronto.

An archipelago of five musical islands, relaying music back and forth, each one contributing according to their own temporality, tradition, emotion, rhythm and score.

Being immersed in Sandeep Bhagwati’s musical visions is a true gift. He is not only an otherworldly composer, but also a generous mentor and musical friend. Through him, I was introduced to the practice of comprovisation—a blend of composition and improvisation—which has become a core part of my own approach as a composer.
