Leila Bordreuil at Life World

About

Next Thursday evening at Life World, we’re excited to host Brooklyn-based cellist, composer, improviser and sound artist Leila Bordreuil. Tickets in bio. Leila’s musical language borrows concepts from harsh noise, free-jazz, contemporary-classical and other experimental traditions but adheres to no single genre. Driven by a fierce interest in pure sound and inherent texture, Leila challenges conventional cello practice through original extended techniques and extreme amplification methods. Her compositions explore psychoacoustic happenings and sound-spatialization through multichannel and site-specific pieces. Her musical collaborations are numerous and diverse, and current collaborators include Laurel Halo, Luke Stewart (Irreversible Entanglements), Tamio Shiraishi (Fushitutsa), Lee Ranaldo (Sonic Youth), Zach Rowden (Tongue Depressor), and Kali Malone.
