A CERTAIN TRIP (vinyl)

Description

A new album is on the way for Guillaume Perret. With 'A CERTAIN TRIP', scheduled for release on June 5, 2020, the saxophonist will extend the paths he opened with the soundtrack of '16 levers de soleil', Thomas Pesquet's space odyssey. Always soaring towards infinity, Guillaume Perret has composed for theater, ballets, and cinema, developing his sense of dramaturgy and narration in each of his numerous projects. To create the soundtrack for '16 levers de soleil', the saxophonist brought together a new crew consisting of Yessaï Karapetian on keyboards, Julien Herné on bass, and Martin Wangermée on drums. The quartet progressively sculpted the eight tracks of the album 'A Certain Trip' on stage, guided by the sound architect who once again developed music like no other, intense or dreamlike, always serving emotions. A spiritual jazz trance from elsewhere where electronic music, groove, urban pulsations, and oriental textures intertwine. His solar, refined music, with airy atmospheres conducive to elevation, gives nothing up on energy. Not hesitating to transform, twist, and pull the sound of his sax using pedals and all sorts of DIY contraptions, he offers us contemporary jazz with electro influences, soaring, unusual, and terribly current. "THE JAZZMAN WHO RUBS SHOULDERS WITH THE STARS." --- TÉLÉRAMA ---. "The sax appeal is on the starting blocks to deliver a good spanking to those who don't know him yet." --- JAZZ NEWS ---. "This album is a cinematic trip, an invitation to color reality. I wanted to create enveloping music that connects our inner self with the outer world. Whatever images and sounds surround us, I made sure they always blended well with the sound adventure proposed in these long-form compositions, so that one feels like in a music video, between reality and fiction. I visit several states of mind, explore different universes, make proposals that are constantly re-challenged, take-off zones, ruptures, blurred tracks. Trapdoors open to unknown worlds, we gain strength, we turn our life into a film where we are the hero." "Furious, ferocious, and tender, the jazz youngest mixes funk and metal. A big slap." --- TÉLÉRAMA ---. "Staggering between rage, voluptuousness, and bestiality, the sound of this saxophonist engenders a universe conceived as a film." --- L'EXPRESS ---. "the musician of today, and tomorrow." --- LE MONDE ---.
