Pagan skies

The end of the season is starting off and scattering six last sweeties while the seeding of the next harvest is being prepared.

As from now, you may savour the newest wonder from Sébastien Laudenbach, “Vibrato” a short-film I created music for, with vocals from Elise Caron as the ecstatic singer of this fantasic Fantasia. Put on good headphones, play it loud, lower the light, click on the 3ème Scène website and let yourself be swallowed by the curves, the gold and the waters from Opera Garnier.

The formula to turn fall into flight will be disclosed by choregrapher Thierry Thieû Niang and the children from “Au Coeur” that I will accompany again with real pleasure on the 11th at 3.30pm at the Théâtre Gérard Philippe in Saint-Denis.

My piece for string section “En regardant le ciel”, escorted by works from the classical repertoire, will be interpreted once again by the Orchestre Symphonique des Jeunes de la Métropole on the 24th at 3pm at the Triangle in Rennes.

On the 21st, Jean-Michel Espitalier invited me to blow out the 50 candles of Sgt. Pepper during the show Atelier de Création Radiophonique for which I forked out a lysergic cover from Lucy in the Sky. It will happen, as so often, on France Culture at 11pm and then on podcast for naps under tangerine trees and marmalade skies.

For other summer siestas, the Oratorio Nova with Claire ingrid Cottanceau and John Greaves is also available for download on podcast, as much as the Rothko, the Funghimiracolette and tutti quanti.

The Funghimiracolette that you could hear echoing, at twilight, among the frame of a meadow clearing in the Brocéliande forest during a Music Lecture with Laure Limongi honouring me by lending her voice, for the contemporary poetry festival “Et Dire et Ouïssance” on the 30th.

And then, will you stroll around Place Gambetta in Paris, you could go visit my galery of monsters delighted to find again the hospitality of Chez Betty’s walls.

Here it is for my bee-business. This newsletter will have a rest up to September, the time to finalize the mixing of the No Land album and initialize the second chapter MellaNoiseScape. I’ll tell you about all this at the return from summer, as well as many other festivity. By then, I wish you a nice summertime.
