Movies & Gypsies at Bal Blomet

To arrange is to disturb. For his 6th disc as a leader, Movies & Gypsies, violinist, composer and arranger Pierre Blanchard deconstructs iconic musical themes from cinema, lending them the breath of gypsy jazz. The Godfather, Schindler's List, Cinema Paradiso, The Thomas Crown affair... so many major sound works revisited during the 12 tracks of the album, thanks to different processes.

Arranger, c’est déranger. Pour son 6e disque en leader, Movies & Gypsies, le violoniste, compositeur et arrangeur Pierre Blanchard déstructure des thèmes musicaux iconiques du cinéma, en leur prêtant le souffle du jazz manouche. The Godfather, Schindler’s List, Cinema Paradiso, The Thomas Crown affair… autant d’œuvres sonores majeures revisitées au cours des 12 titres de l’album, grâce à différents procédés. « Pour Schindler’s List, la mélodie originelle déployée sur une dizaine de notes a été étendue sur trois octaves, pour en décupler la puissance lyrique », illustre Pierre Blanchard.
