      • Sylvain Rifflet 'Looking For Moondog' - Banlieues Bleues

        Saxophonists Rifflet and Irabagon pay tribute to Moondog, a celestial tramp and post-modern prophet, revisiting his creative world in a musical and multimedia maelstrom. Moondog, the Viking from 6th Avenue, left his mark on the New York scene and on his contemporaries, crossing musical lines: Arturo Toscanini, Charlie Parker, Leonard Bernstein, Janis Joplin, Allen Ginsberg, Philip Glass and Terry Riley were among those who worked with him. The man is no longer with us, but his spirit survives. 'Perpetual Motion', the brainchild of Sylvain Rifflet and American saxophonist Jon Irabagon, involves the brillant Alphabet quartet, pianist Eve Risser, and two school choirs from Bobigny. The aim is to celebrate Moondog's music, question our lives in a modern metropolis (here the use of video comes into its own), and explore new imaginary landscapes. (54 min)

      • Pneuma, choreography by Carolyn Carlson

        Pneuma - Air and dreams; Choreography by Carolyn Carlson; Opéra National de Bordeaux Ballet; Composer, Gavin Gryars; National Bordeaux Aquitaine orchestra; Conductor, Pieter-Jelle de Boer; In March 1999, Carolyn Carlson and the Opéra de Bordeaux ballet premiered 'Hydrogen Jukebox', a fascinating choreography with music by Philip Glass. The choreographer is back this season with an exciting project drawing its inspiration from an essay by French philosopher Gaston Bachelard, 'Air and dreams'. This time the music is by Gavin Bryars, a 'post-minimalist' composer who previously worked with William Forsythe, Lucinda Childs, Maguy Marin, Jirí Kylián and Merce Cunningham. Carlson's choreography explores the duality of the human being, between body and soul, gravity and elevation, matter and mind. An ode to human nature, at once passionate and poetic. Recorded at the Opéra National de Bordeaux on March 2014; TV Director, Yan Proefrock (85 min)

The bizarre society was founded in the 19th century in Great Britain and it still believes that pictures taken from space are false. The eponymous 1998 Big Band from Belgium, however, plays anything but flat music. The claim to fame came for this jazz orchestra, founded by artist and clarinettist Peter Vermeersch in 2004, as he and pianist Uri Caine went on tour. In 2006 they released their first CD, 'Psychoscout', followed by their second CD, 'Clear Me, Perverts!' in 2009. A rebel and anti-conformist ensemble with a lot to offer, from faithful adherence to music rules to intoxicating improvisation. (55 min)
