Ensemble Cairn - Noriko Baba: Bonbori - Noriko Baba's music transforms fleeting details into profound artistic expressions, weaving nostalgia, nature, and her Japanese heritage into evocative soundscapes. From the intimate, lantern-lit glow of Bonbori to the tumultuous echoes of the 2011 tsunami in Shiosai, her works balance delicacy and intensity. 9600 romanticizes the age of steam locomotives, while Au pavillon de (Monsieur) Porcelaine offers a deeply personal meditation on joy and loss through Mahlerian inspiration. With Avant le chant d'amour, Baba evokes Apollinaire's poetic world, and Bestiarium musicale crafts a vibrant sonic tapestry of mythical creatures. Each piece invites listeners into a realm where sound and memory entwine.
