Shifter Ensemble is a Bern-based Ensemble founded in 2019 and made up of four Italian electric guitarists operating in Europe and specialized in contemporary music. With their first project “404 – page not found”, Shifter is going to present an entirely new repertoire, result of a close collaboration with the composers. Their personal and deeply heterogeneous artistic directions and the musical research carried out together with the members of the ensemble, created a multifaced concert. A combination of divergent expressive languages, idiomatic and non- vocabularies, different approaches to media and to sound. A profound investigation about the sonic and performative capacities of the e-guitars. Through preparations, scordaturas, extended techniques, objects, electronics and different setups, the e-guitar transfigures itself, shape-shifts and expands beyond its body.
