D’un cote vous avez le musicien/DJ Carl Craig et de l’autre le pianiste Francesco Tristano, le résultat, une alliance improbable au résultat détonnant : une esthétique sonore unique qui casse les frontières entre les différents styles de musique. Je vous propose de revivre cette rencontre via le live enregistré à la Cité de la Musique le 18 octobre dernier que je vous propose ci-dessous.
Carl Craig + « Les siècles » orchestra + the pianist Francesco Tristano ? An improbable alliance that was quite simply mind-blowing ! This unique meeting between a classical ensemble and techno music was powerful, solemn and danceable all at once! For the concoction to work, it needed a guide: Carl Craig. Originator of the project, the emblematic Detroit producer/DJ worked with pianist Francesco Tristano to arrange his compositions for an orchestra. Distinguished guest, Moritz Von Oswald made a valuable contribution to the project, offering fans a rhythmic arrangement and a new piece co-written with Carl Craig. The result is impressive: a unique sound aesthetic that breaks down barriers between seemingly incompatible music styles – as described by François Xavier Roth, musical director and conductor of the “Siècles” orchestra: “There is no hierarchy in music, only a quest for high standards”. Historic concert ! (Grandcrew)
