Cinéma

Description

A DREAMLIKE POP-ROCK ALBUM WITH A CINEMATIC DIMENSION It is time for John Trap to hit the screen. A remarkable musician, composer, arranger, and fully accomplished multi-instrumentalist, he has long been building a body of work haunted by childhood and the magical world of cinema, where he draws inspiration and renewal tirelessly. A man of the woods, little inclined toward social niceties, he has collaborated with Dominique A, Peter Deimel of Black Box Studio, composer Bruno Coulais, musicians Antoine and Bernard Paganotti, and for more than ten years now, with Arnaud Le Gouëfflec, while developing a very broad palette of arrangements, in the service of a dreamlike pop-rock that is immediately recognizable, where experimental touches mingle. For this body of work, aptly titled Cinéma is the ideal entry point: written in French, it concentrates all of its creator’s obsessions, the presence of death, the ghosts of childhood, the shadows of the forest, and a taste for rough and authentic characters. Everything needed to make a good film, isn’t it? John Trap thinks of music cinematically, and the stories he unfolds from his magic lantern are all poignant, dramatic, funny, deeply human short films. John Trap does not play, he films.
