Liaisons magnétiques

Description

For those who want to listen, Thierry Pécou tells of the world, its vastness, its beauty, its chaos too, with the suffering of men and their mutilated memories. The trance of Bahian candomblé, Mozartian melodic sweetness, the virtuoso craftsmanship of orchestration, pre-Columbian musical archaeology: all these differences intertwine without losing themselves in the music Thierry Pécou gives us to hear. With the virtuosos of his Ensemble Variances, he draws us into his Tout-monde, according to the beautiful expression of the Martinican writer Edouard Glissant, cultivating its relations to the other or to elsewhere, without diluting itself. This is the full meaning of the tribute he pays to Henri Dutilleux in Les liaisons magnétiques, to pre-Columbian Mexico with Soleil-Feu, or to the vitalist philosophy of Gilles Deleuze, which is the backdrop to Machines désirantes. He visits Indonesian gamelans in his Sextuor, without forgetting a festive and sensual detour through the islands of the Caribbean with Salsa d'Elissa and Dominica Reggae.
