Lines by Maria del Mar Ribas

In her first solo EP Lines, Maria del Mar Ribas presents her Suite for Cello Solo in G minor. A retrospective vision departing from the classical form towards a modern language of the instrument. A reminiscence to the origins of this genre with Global Music influences.
The Suite is written with scordatura, an unusual change in tuning on the A string, lowering it one tone to achieve a greater breadth in the G minor sonority.
Lines is a call to understanding, an offer of union between rational structures and the need for freedom of the musical impulse.
Recorded on a single track and composed to be performed using the natural, organic resources of the instrument.

Maria del Mar Ribas is a cellist and composer with advanced knowledge in classical music, born in Valencia and living in Cologne. City that has given her a great opportunity to establish a network with other artists. From her recording studio, she collaborates with filmmakers and musicians of very divergent styles from Contemporary Classical, Indie-Pop, Singer-Songwriter to Electronic Music.
