      • Laurent De Wilde and Otisto 23 'Fly' with Guillaume Perret - Banlieues Bleues

        LAURENT DE WILDE AND OTISTO 23 'FLY!' INVITE GUILLAUME PERRET LIVE AT LA DYNAMO; With Nico Ticot (video) Xlrproject; Part Two of Laurent de Wilde and Otisto 23's musical experiments. This time, they have transcended themselves. Let us go back to the basic concept: a piano and a computer - Laurent generates sounds on his instrument, with the keyboard of course, but also the strings, felt, wood, metal, anything that can be plucked, scraped and rubbed, producing an infinitely varied sound matter that Otisto processes in real time through his computer, bouncing it back to Laurent, who then responds with new sounds... and this is how the music develops. After the experience of their first album 'PC Pieces', de Wilde et Otisto are meeting again on stage and in the studio. More intuitive, their music now involves more piano and electronics, as in 'Lost' with its long cadence on the piano, meandering through the filters of the machine, and 'B Flat Seven' where a single B Flat generates an extensive technoid epic in seven tableaux. From this encounter, a deeply organic music is born, a dialogue, a conversation which at times solidifies into an incandescent ball of sound or slims down to the most delicate hieroglyphs. An anecdote involves a herd of cows, grazing in the vicinity of the studio where the album was being recorded, to the accompaniment of a colony of flies, who soon invaded the room where the two musicians were working. There ensued a track entitled 'Eau de Mouche n°5', and the realisation that the insects' constant buzzing was influencing their entire repertoire. FLY! invites us to defy gravity, carried aloft by an intimate and precious musical conversation. (75 min)

      • Deca Danse by the Batsheva Dance Company. Chaillot Theater

        Deca Dance; Choreography, Ohad Naharin; Dancers of the Batsheva Dance Company; Lights, Avi Yona Bueno (Bambi); Costumes, Rakefet Levi (except Seder Sharon Eyal); Designed for the first time in 2000, the program then celebrated the 10 years worth of creations of Ohad Naharin with the company, offering a striking collage of excerpts from his work. The piece has been steadily reworked and enhanced, and now gives the Israeli choreographer a chance to display his various inspirations - from the most demonstrative movement to very intimate expression - as well as to interrogate the key elements of his work. More than a collection of selected works, it is a genuine recreation whose repertoire provides continuously revisited material. Energetic and sensual, always walking a fine line between body and soul emotions, dance becomes its own theater. An enthralling experience for spectators, caught up in a whirlwind of unforgettable movements, sounds and images delivered by a company at its best. The visionary choreographer also devised the music (Maxim Waratt, Maurice Ravel, Arvo Pärt, Seefeel, Chari Chari, Antonio Vivaldi, Ali Hassan Kuban, Avi Belleli, Dan Makov...), the lights and the scenography. Directed for video by Luc Riolon - 2013 (75 min); Recorded on 2013 at the Théâtre national de Chaillot (74 min)

      • Marc Cary Focus Trio at Pori Jazz Festival

        Marc Cary - keys; Rashaan Carter - bass; Sameer Gupta - drums and tabla; American pianist Marc Cary has been on fire lately, as is evident on his 2013 album 'Four Directions'. In his trio, Cary plays both piano and the keys, and the group's music embodies elements of go-go, hiphop, plus Indian musical culture. As their excellent pair of live albums released in 2008 and 2009 prove, on stage is where this band is at home. In 2013, Cary also released a solo piano album, 'For the Love of Abbey', dedicated to the late jazz vocal great Abbey Lincoln. (52 min)

      • Zara McFarlane at Pori Jazz Festival

        Zara McFarlane just might be one of the new jazz sensations of 2014. At least all signs point to this. Her second album 'If You Knew Her' was released in January and it presents a singer who has truly discovered her own voice. The album was released by Brownswood Recordings, run by the famed British DJ/tastemaker Gilles Peterson. The minimalist compositions and McFarlane's strong voice come together in a stunning way, making the release one of the early highlights of the new musical year. (62 min)

His second album, 'The Invasion Parade', was co-produced by Quincy. Twenty-year-old Canadian singer Nikki Yanofsky presents 'Little Secret', her second opus produced by Quincy.

His second album, co-produced by David Foster and Quincy is being released this year. Lastly, blind piano virtuoso Justin Kauflin comes to Vienna to present his album 'Introducing Justin Kauflin'.
