Eneko Vadillo

We could say that Eneko Vadillo (Malaga, 1973), would embody a third very peculiar wave called neo-spectralist and eclectic. This is due to biographical and professional reasons, including his time at the Royal College of Music in London where he worked with Magnus Lindberg, Julian Anderson, George Benjamin and Jonathan Harvey between 2001 and 2004 and at the IRCAM during the 2008-2009 academic year. Beyond their possible uselessness when trying to name and delimit a compositional position which is always dynamic and in progress, these terms can help us to describe Vadillo’s attitude to sound and composition, as shown by the pieces making up this record.

ZAHIR ENSEMBLE

The trajectory of the Sevillian group endorses its commitment with the interpretation of the unlimited repertoire of our time, of great aesthetic variety and greater artistic and historical relevance, and yet generally absent from the usual programming. Giving an idea of the national and international dimension of the ensemble, beyond the members that form it, it is worth mentioning its participation in festivals and European venues such as the Taschenopern Festival in Salzburg (Austria), Eröffnungsfest der Salzburger Festpiele (Inaugural Festival of the Salzburg, 2005), Solitär Saal of the University “Mozarteum” (Salzburg), Musique en Cité (s) (Marseille, France), Concert Hall of the Chopin University of Warsaw (Poland), having performed in Spain in the Contemporary Music Cycle of the Seville City Council, Contemporary Music of Córdoba, Arts Festival No Camiño de Lugo, International Music Festival “A orillas del Guadalquivir” of Sanlúcar de Barrameda, Guitar Festival of Seville, Mostra Sonora de Sueca in Valencia, Smash Festival of Salamanca, Ciclo de Música Para el Tercer Milenio of Madrid, Proyecto Rafel Festival (Rafelbunyol, Valencia), among others, and in halls such as Teatro Villamarta of Jerez, Círculo de Bellas Artes of Madrid, Auditorium 400 of the Reina Sofía Museum of Madrid, Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando de Madrid, Conservatory of Bilbao, Alhambra Theater of Granada. Especially noteworthy, for the programs presented and for the number of editions in which the ensemble has participated, has been its presence in the Ciclos de Música Contemporánea of Junta de Andalucía in the Central Theater of Seville (2007-08 and 2010-17), highlighting the premieres in Spain of works like “The Fall of the House of Usher” by Philip Glass, “In vain” by GF Haas, “ASKO Concerto” by Elliott Carter, “Ballet mécanique” (original version) by G. Antheil, “Proverb” by Steve Reich or “Clouds of forgetting, Clouds of unknowing” by John L. Adams.
