Nicolette Emanuelle
Multi-instrumentalist and composer Nicolette Emanuelle creates an immersive performance using the cello and a live looping pedal. Layering percussive sounds with soaring melodic lines, she transports listeners to distant landscapes. Playing with the juxtaposition of rich, looping textures and moments of stillness, each piece unfolds in real time, shifting, building, and dissolving as it carries the audience somewhere beyond the present moment.
