This performance on 14th February 2026, developed during a residency at DAS HAUS, brings two distant musical languages into a quiet encounter. Vocal textures, electronics and field recordings by Younes Zarhoni unfold alongside the viola da gamba of Marc De La Linde, whose playing draws on the introspective and ornamental world of Marin Marais and Diego Ortiz.

Fragments including La Rêveuse, Tombeau pour Monsieur de Sainte-Colombe, Les Folies d’Espagne and selected Chaconnes, alongside echoes of Diego Ortiz’ Recercadas para Viola da Gamba Solo (1553). These materials appear as traces rather than quotations, folded into a quadriphonic space where sound circulates, dissolves, and returns.

Marc De La Linde is a prize-winning viola da gamba player trained in Barcelona, The Hague, and Lyon, and regularly performs with leading early-music ensembles such as Jordi Savall’s Jove Capella Reial de Catalunya. Rooted in classical and early-music traditions, his playing is known for its sensitivity, depth, and openness to collaboration. In this encounter, his instrument becomes a living voice within a contemporary sonic landscape.
