This crowdfunding campaign is for the new-music project Vulnus. Our goal is to develop a different format to the traditional concert. This will allow our music to reach a more varied audience and address the concept of the performance with greater depth.
We believe that music can benefit immensely by strengthening its relationship to the other performing arts. To this end, with your contributions, we will be able to work with the choreographer Kenzo Kuzuda as well as the visual artist and light designer Emese Csornai.
Esta campaña de crowdfunding es para el proyecto de música contemporánea Vulnus. Nuestro objetivo es desarrollar un formato diferente al de un concierto tradicional. A través de este formato nuestra música se adecuará a un público más variado y abordará el concepto del espectáculo con más profundidad.
Desde nuestro punto de vista, es muy beneficioso para la música comparar y ayudarse de otras disciplinas artísticas. Gracias a vuestra contribución tendremos la oportunidad de trabajar con el coreógrafo Kenzo Kusuda y con la artista visual y diseñadora de luces Emese Csornai.

Our aim is to show how the expression and meaning of music can be accentuated by other layers like movement, space and light. The interpreters explore aspects of performing that are rarely used in music concerts. Therefore they require the advice of various artists from other disciplines.
A través de este proyecto queremos demostrar cómo el movimiento, el uso del espacio y la luz acentúan la expresión y el significado de la música. Los intérpretes explorarán aspectos de la representación que no se usan a menudo en conciertos, por eso necesitan valerse de la experiencia de varios artistas provenientes de otras disciplinas.
We are very excited by the possibility of working with Kenzo and Emese before our premiere on 7th September. Having experienced the tremendous impact of movement and lights in our music, we have realised the importance they play in our understanding of the character and intention of each piece.
These two artists both have insights into more than one discipline and have collaborated with musicians before. Additionally, they work with improvisation, which is an important tool in our creative process.
Sería maravilloso poder trabajar con Kenzo y Emese antes de nuestra premiere el 7 de septiembre. Al incorporar en nuestra interpretación el uso de movimiento y luces, hemos podido corroborar lo importante que es este proceso interdisciplinar para entender el carácter y la intención de cada fragmento musical.
Ambos artistas conocen en profundidad más de una disciplina y han colaborado anteriormente con músicos. Además lo dos trabajan con la improvisación, que es para nosotros una herramienta fundamental en el proceso creativo.

The Vulnus artistic team is:
Manuel Sánchez composes the music.
Georgi Sztojanov composes the music and performs as a tenor.
Irene Sorozábal performs as a mezzo-soprano and recorder player. She is also the producer.
Our goal is to organically and artistically connect two musical fields: the recorder and the voice. With this project we want to explore their common quality -vulnerability. We believe that embracing vulnerability in performance is the best tool for real communication.
Manuel Sánchez compone la música para el proyecto.
Georgi Sztojanov compone e interpreta como tenor.
Irene Sorozábal interpreta como mezzo-soprano y flautista de pico. También trabaja como productora.
Decidimos colaborar con la intención de fusionar en la composición contemporánea dos especialidades: la flauta de pico y la voz. En este proyecto queremos explorar una cualidad que ambas comparten: la vulnerabilidad. Aceptarla y revelarla es el puente perfecto para una comunicación real.
