Dans cent ans

Description

In a hundred years, this is not a record, it's a talisman. Flavien Berger doesn't make music, he builds time machines.In 2015, the musician released Leviathan, an album conceived as a moment suspended in the present.In 2018, Contre-temps, his second acclaimed album, was a flashback album.In a hundred years now closes this trilogy, hurtling toward the future with the grace of a venomous snake.Having just produced the latest album by the artist Pomme and simultaneously composing the music for Céline Devaux's film, this third album was recorded in seclusion, in six months.In an attic, 12 tracks were born, both direct and mysterious.First, because Flavien Berger dares to intertwine electro, French chanson, and classical music, organic instruments and synthetic choirs. Next, because his voice, more precise and intimate than ever, tells us stories that are both unfamiliar and obvious. Finally, because, as if it were a glass pyramid, this album contains echoes of its predecessors, like the sweeping In a hundred years, an epic where voices, wind instruments, and machines converse, as if Etienne Daho, Debussy, and an Indian dervish met in a dream.In the end, the vertigo of love and the collision of times become one.In a hundred years, music will outlive us, and its dangerous beauty will awaken other lives than our own. In the meantime, Flavien Berger takes care of dazzling them.
