Additional Description:

FILERA:
FILIAS/FOBIAS

Philia (/ˈfɪliÉ™/; Ancient Greek: φιλία), often translated "brotherly love", is one of the four ancient Greek words for love: philia, storge, agape and eros. In Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics, philia is usually translated as "friendship" or affection. The complete opposite is called a phobia. [Wikipedia]

Filera, n. Slang word used at Mexican border cities such as Tijuana, Ensenada or Mexicali, for knife.

Having met in different contemporary music and free improv ensembles, we (Carmina, Natalia and Wilfrido) first got together as a trio in 2013 to play temA, the groundbreaking work written by German composer Helmut Lachenmann in 1968. From then, we have collaborated with composers like Ignacio Baca Lobera and Carola Bauckholt, besides creating our own pieces.

The other side of Filera’s work is free improvisation. One thing that the three of us have in common is that we equally enjoy playing notated music and improvisation. When we decided to start a trio together, we took it upon ourselves to balance these two worlds that interest us, and so we always try to do a bit of both wherever we go. Both sides inform and nurture each other in our work and we feel both are indispensable.
