Trablos at 38 Riv

‘Revelation’ Jazz Magazine, ‘Elected’ Citizen Jazz, Jazz Migration #7.Mixing music recorded in several emblematic places in Tripoli in Lebanon such as the hammam Ezzeddine, the Armenian church of Beit El Fan or Beit El Nessim, a former Ottoman residence from the 18th century, but also recordings taken in the heart of places where people live, This album is a work of sound dedicated to the city, its history, its present and the people who live there today. Trablos is an intimate and personal testimony to an extremely special period in Lebanon, and is intended as a phonic interpretation by a duo of improvising artists on prepared instruments, in the service of research into the texture and resonance of materials. Capturing the real but also sublimating it: the city of Tripoli can thus be seen and heard in a different way, as close as possible to real sensations and images, like a shared experience, between strangeness and shared imagination, at a place where words are not enough to rethink, imagine but also dream.Jazzics - Jazz meets classical38Riv celebrates the dialogue between jazz and classical music. Rereading the great repertoires, bringing together instruments from different eras, free improvisations: a meeting where borders are erased in favour of a common language.Conceived as a tribute to Vincent Charbonnier, founder of 38Riv and a passionate double bass player, this programme is in the spirit of Jacques Loussier's “Play Bach”: curious, inventive and free....

“Révélation” Jazz Magazine, “ÉLU” Citizen Jazz, Jazz Migration #7.Mêlant musique enregistrée dans plusieurs lieux emblématiques de Tripoli au Liban tels que le hammam Ezzeddine, l'église arménienne de Beit El Fan ou encore Beit El Nessim, ancienne demeure ottomane du XVIIIème siècle mais aussi des enregistrements captés au coeur de lieux de vie, de rencontre ou de passage tels que les souks de la ville ancienne, la place Al Tal ou encore le dôme de la foire internationale Rachid Karamé, cet album est une oeuvre sonore dédiée à la ville, son histoire, son présent et aux personnes qui l'habitent aujourd'hui. Témoignage intime et personnel d’une époque extrêmement particulière au Liban, Trablos se veut une interprétation phonique par un duo d'artistes improvisateurs sur instruments préparés, au service d’une recherche autour de la texture et de la résonance des matières. Saisir le réel mais aussi le sublimer : la ville de Tripoli se donne ainsi à voir et à entendre autrement, au plus près de sensations et d’images vécues, comme une expérience en partage, entre étrangeté et imaginaires communs, à l’endroit où les mots ne suffisent pas pour re-penser, imaginer mais aussi rêver.Jazzics — Jazz meets classicalLe 38Riv célèbre le dialogue entre jazz et musiques classiques. Relecture des grands répertoires, rencontres d’instruments venus d’époques différentes, improvisations libres : un rendez-vous où les frontières s’effacent au profit d’un langage commun.Pensée en hommage à Vincent Charbonnier, fondateur du 38Riv et contrebassiste passionné, cette programmation s’inscrit dans l’esprit du « Play Bach » de Jacques Loussier : curieuse, inventive, libre.
