Ex-sentia Ensemble

Biography

Ex-Sentia formed in 2020 as a response to certain concerns of its members Miguel Fernández (saxophone), Jacob Mason (piano) and Santiago Villar (percussion), such as the longed-for immediacy pursued by today’s society, digitalization, and the duality between the person and the virtual self on social networks. 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.
