The four musicians Christophe Havard, Jérôme Joy, Keith Rowe and Anthony Taillard are performing Ecco Ecco Ecco Ecco for the closure of the exhibition “Nothing at All – Idiorhythmic Modes of Coexistence” by David Ryan & Jérôme Joy at the Palais de Tokyo.
Ecco Ecco Ecco Ecco, which creates the opportunity for a stretched haiku (“here, there, here it is, there it is” in Italian), is a six-hour performance played by four improvisers. It extends “Nothing at All – Idiorhythmic Modes of Coexistence” by announcing an opening, rather than a closing. Performed in the exhibition space, from afternoon till evening, it opens up an animated dialogue through the improvisations of the musicians, in presence of listeners, thus leading to a living, human, fragile, tenacious present. This is ordinary, living music..
