      • Morten Qvenild: Personal Piano - Oslo Jazz Festival

        QVENILD PERSONAL PIANO @ Oslo Jazz Festival 2016; Morten Qvenild, a member of In The Country, who also accompanies Susanna Wallumrod in Susanna & The Magical Orchestra, presents a very personal kind of music. Qvenild drifts away from jazz standards, presenting works performed on his 'HyPer (sonal) Piano', a keyboard augmented with electronics. The Norwegian musician's compositions are varied, and may include his own vocals. He sometimes reduces the accompaniment to a bare minimum, a few melodic touches to support the melancholy of his timbre (Wild Horses). He feels at liberty, for example, to break the continuity of a piece like Kick And Glide, speeding up the tempo and calling on programs to give his piano a psychedelic and futuristic touch - in the company of a distorted guitar - taking us far away from traditional jazz. Record on August 17th 2016 at the Nasjonal Jazzscene Victoria, Oslo (Oslo Jazz Festival); TV director, Jean-François Hugel (75 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)

      • 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)
