Guillaume De Chassy, David Linx & Matteo Pastorino at Sunset-Sunside

“We are not totally inventing anything; we stand on the shoulders of the great creators who preceded us or those we meet today: musicians, painters, writers... these giants support and inspire us every day". This is how David Linx and Guillaume de Chassy, ​​initiators of this project, define their common approach. It takes all the mastery of David Linx, "Singer-Songwriter" outstanding, to appropriate these works with as much ease. Precision in the writing of the texts and the vocal virtuosity makes possible the side step that the singer achieves which, without doubt, will confuse more than one here.These musics constitute the mother tongue of Guillaume de Chassy, ​​whose transcriptions open spaces of freedom to the Sardinian clarinettist Matteo Pastorino With On Shoulders We Stand, the three musicians set themselves a sizeable challenge, happily assuming a risk-taking that has become rare in the ambient conformism....

“We are not totally inventing anything; we stand on the shoulders of the great creators who preceded us or those we meet today: musicians, painters, writers... these giants support and inspire us every day". This is how David Linx and Guillaume de Chassy, ​​initiators of this project, define their common approach. It takes all the mastery of David Linx, "Singer-Songwriter" outstanding, to appropriate these works with as much ease. Precision in the writing of the texts and the vocal virtuosity makes possible the side step that the singer achieves which, without doubt, will confuse more than one here.These musics constitute the mother tongue of Guillaume de Chassy, ​​whose transcriptions open spaces of freedom to the Sardinian clarinettist Matteo Pastorino With On Shoulders We Stand, the three musicians set themselves a sizeable challenge, happily assuming a risk-taking that has become rare in the ambient conformism.

« Nous n’inventons rien totalement;  nous nous tenons sur les épaules des grands créateurs qui  nous ont précédés ou de ceux que nous cotoyons aujourd’hui: musiciens, peintres, écrivains … ces géants nous soutiennent et nous inspirent chaque jour". C'est ainsi que David Linx et Guillaume de Chassy, initiateurs de ce projet, définissent leur démarche commune. Il faut toute la maîtrise de David Linx, "Singer-Songwriter" hors pair, pour s'approprier ces oeuvres avec autant d'aisance. La précision dans l'écriture des textes et la virtuosité vocale rendent possibles le pas de côté que réussit le chanteur qui, sans doute, en déroutera ici plus d'un. Ces musiques constituent la langue maternelle de Guillaume de Chassy, dont les transcriptions ouvrent des espaces de liberté au clarinettiste sarde Matteo Pastorino. Avec On Shoulders We Stand, les trois musiciens se sont lancés un défi de taille, assumant joyeusement une prise de risque devenue rare dans le conformisme ambiant.
