Thibault Gomez + MaëLle Et Les Garçons at La Dynamo De Banlieues Bleues

Thibault Gomez offers a delicate and sincere ode to the sounds we let slip by without thinking, to the melodies that appear by accident.For the pianist, composer and improviser, this fascination arose at the same time as his awakening to music. The beautiful title he gives to his project (Les oiseaux aussi ont le vertige, or Birds Get Vertigo Too) reveals his very personal interpretation of birdsong.--Maëlle et les Garçons, four musicians in vogue, a group of friends invited to the party, united by the same desire: to choose not to choose.Behind this playful and disarming title, violist Maëlle Desbrosses wants to embrace a maxim of the poet William Blake: ‘Without opposition, there is no progress.’ What could be more natural when you consider her musical career, navigating between classical, improvised and contemporary music, DJing, and also lending her instrument and voice to pop singers on tour. This quartet embodies the joy of straddling two worlds, playing with contrasting styles, bringing a diversity of timbres to life in the instrumentation, and giving concrete form to musical imaginations that might otherwise remain fantastical....

Thibault Gomez offers a delicate and sincere ode to the sounds we let slip by without thinking, to the melodies that appear by accident.For the pianist, composer and improviser, this fascination arose at the same time as his awakening to music. The beautiful title he gives to his project (Les oiseaux aussi ont le vertige, or Birds Get Vertigo Too) reveals his very personal interpretation of birdsong.--Maëlle et les Garçons, four musicians in vogue, a group of friends invited to the party, united by the same desire: to choose not to choose.Behind this playful and disarming title, violist Maëlle Desbrosses wants to embrace a maxim of the poet William Blake: ‘Without opposition, there is no progress.’ What could be more natural when you consider her musical career, navigating between classical, improvised and contemporary music, DJing, and also lending her instrument and voice to pop singers on tour. This quartet embodies the joy of straddling two worlds, playing with contrasting styles, bringing a diversity of timbres to life in the instrumentation, and giving concrete form to musical imaginations that might otherwise remain fantastical.

Thibault Gomez propose une ode toute en délicatesse et en sincérité aux sons qu’on laisse filer sans y penser, aux mélodies qui apparaissent par accident. Pour le pianiste, compositeur et improvisateur, cette fascination naît en même temps que son éveil à la musique. Le beau titre qu’il donne à son projet (Les oiseaux aussi ont le vertige) révèle son interprétation toute personnelle du chant des oiseaux.--Maëlle et les Garçons, quatre musicien.nes dans le vent, une bande de copains invités à la fête, unis par une même volonté : choisir de ne pas choisir.Derrière ce choix de titre ô combien facétieux et désarmant, l’altiste Maëlle Desbrosses veut faire sienne une maxime du poète William Blake : « sans contraire, il n’y a pas de progression ». Quoi de plus naturel quand on examine son parcours musical, elle qui navigue entre classique, musiques improvisées, musiques contemporaines, DJ, et prête également son instrument et sa voix aux tournées de chanteuses pop. Ce quartet est l’incarnation de cette jubilation à se placer entre deux chaises, à se jouer des oppositions de style, à faire vivre une diversité de timbres dans l’instrumentation, à concrétiser des imaginaires musicaux a priori fantasques.
