[...] As far as my trio IK*Zs (3) is concerned, we do not play freely improvised music. Our method might be called “structured improvisation”, and the trio’s music is in a way an extension of my flute and electronic solo concerts. We usually find ideas for our structures during the rehearsals when we allow ourselves to improvise spontaneously. We record our improvisations and later on we analyse them to take from the most interesting parts. Carlos Bechegas

REVIEWS

Like Robert Dick, Carlos Bechegas has taken the flute into entirely new territories of expression and experimentation. The two concert dates presented here reveal with startling clarity what his acoustic and electro-acoustic environments are capable of creating, in settings both solo and with his phenomenal trio that includes violinist Ernesto Rodrigues and percussionist Jose Oliveria. Both works are delineated as movements or sections, though one suspects this is for the ease of identification on the part of the listener. In the trio work, Bechegas and his group create a structural idea as a framework, a bare-bones skeleton, so to speak, and fill in the boundaries with group improvisation. Bechegas, who seems very comfortable with violin and the myriad percussion, explores not only the limits of the flute's sonorities but uses keyboards, processors, and synthesizers as well, so that his little group appears much bigger than it is. His ability to create sonic terrains for the group to explore is remarkable in that no two sound remotely alike. The interplay between the flute and plucked violin in the middle of the work is particularly satisfying for its demarcation of intervallic counterpoint. [...] Thom Jurek (All Music Guide)
