Draw on white

Draw on white

≡ October 2019 ≡

It has been a long time since a month had shaped up as a white sheet at the mercy of projects coming to colour it, as an open field to sharpen what happens next, to let present coming into and future (ex)plodding.

Very few events thus, but a concert on the 21st in Italy, in Piacenza, where some sonic fruits should ripen before a few months but where, at the moment, we will be playing with Sir John Greaves, just before the great Fred Frith for the seventh edition of Musiche Nuove.

Pretty much everywhere elsewhere, theatre plays are still performing with my music on.

Will you be North and willing to be moved, Qui a tué mon père? by Stanislas Nordey will resonate from 9 to 11 at the Comédie de Béthune.

Will you be further South and willing to be raised, Emmanuelle Hiron will grab you with Le Fils on the 8th in Castelnau-le-Lez, the 11th in Ponts de Cé and from 17 to 19 in Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines.

Will you be East and willing to be taken away, Acqua Alta by Adrien M & Claire B will spring on the 11th in Geneva, from 15 to 21 in Lyon and from 26 to 28 in in Italy, whereas L’Ombre de la Vapeur will sparkle for yet a whole month in Cognac and Mirages & Miracles will vibrate up to March in Linz in Austria at the Ars Electronica Center.

And if you are everywhere but willing to check that you are elsewhere, Ersatz by Julien Mellano will whirltual you around on the 13th and 14th in Apt, the 17th and 18th in Le Havre and the 19th in Vitré.

Here it is for this early autumn. I won’t say more and let you enjoy the few seconds spared by the brevity of this newsletter as bubbles of endlessly expanded present.
