Ex-Sentia Ensemble
Ex-Sentia Ensemble was formed in 2020 by Miguel Fernández (saxophone), Jacob Mason (piano) and Santiago Villar (percussion), as a response to certain concerns: the longed-for immediacy pursued by today's society, digitalization, and the duality between the person and the virtual self in virtual spaces.
In the face of all of this, Ex-Sentia seeks through music to make its audience reflect, while at the same time opening the doors to experimentation in terms of sound. Taking Trio Accanto as its most direct influence, this ensemble introduces a fourth component to this formation (piano, saxophone, percussion), through the incorporation of the audiovisual media of our era. Hence ''Ex-sentia'': the desire to reach deep into today's music, while maintaining the link with the traditional instrumental era.
In the past years, Ex-Sentia has performed in Spain, Switzerland, Austria and for the global event Earth Day Art Model 2021. The Ensemble is committed to collaborating directly with the composers through new commissions (Isaac Roth, Dorothy Hindman, Beatriz Fraile, Giordano Bruno and Greg Watson) and recordings (Simon Steen-Andersen, Hans Thomalla, Nuño Fernández Ezquerra, Sohui Jeong, Charles Norman Mason).
