Flutidity is a sonic exploration of the complexity of emotions related to territories, movements, and identities. It was conceived by flutist Albane Tamagna, in collaboration with Sami Tedeschi, Gilles Doneux, and Adrien DeReusme, and features compositions by Wilfrido Terrazas, Gilles Doneux, Albane Tamagna, and François Couvreur. It also respectfully includes field recordings and recorded interviews made specifically for this US-Mexico Borderlands Tour at the immigrant stations of El Alacrán/Divina Embajadores and Casa Migrante in Tijuana, Mexico. The recorded voices are presented here with consent from the interviewees. We are thankful to Prof. Teddy Cruz and his team from the UCSD Community Stations/UCSD Center for Global Justice for all the support for this project. We are also thankful to Casa Migrante, CEART Ensenada, Casa Familiar, Jonathan Piper, and the UCSD Dept of Music production team, in particular Jessica Flores and Jeremy Olson.

Albane Tamagna discovered music in Corsica, immersed in the heart of the polyphonic singing. At the age of seven, she chose the flute as a vehicle to live her passion.

A curious and passionate teacher, she focused her dissertation on the notion of the performer’s commitment: Entre essence de soi et essence de l’œuvre – comment guider l’élève vers ce lien indissociable ? (Between the essence of the self and the essence of the work – how to guide the student towards this inseparable link?). In order to experiment with even more facets of her pedagogy, she created with Lucile Gasciarino, a professor of flute at the Conservatoire à Rayonnement Départemental of Carcassonne, the Stage Musical en Pays Audois which is held since 2016 in the South of France.

Chamber music has a very important place in her musical development. She is a musician and founder of the Flautisti Trio, which allows her to further explore the repertoire of her instrument, and of the DuoSolima, which focuses on contemporary music.

In 2018 she joined the Hopper Ensemble and also became first flute of the Tunisian Symphony Orchestra.
