By Renaud Letang

Description

Let's say it right away: this is certainly the most innovative project of Sylvain Luc, who is known for never being where you expect him. Sylvain Luc by Renaud Letang. Everything is said in the title of this meeting (initiated by producer Alexandre Lacombe) between wizard-storytellers, these revolutionaries who put imagination in power. As usual, Sylvain Luc follows the flow of his overflowing inspiration to weave sumptuous harmonic canvases and astonishing, explosive jazz games. Around the console of studio B at Ferber, Letang's lair, these two discovered a common playground: the work of sound, textures, and musical architectures. This album could have been titled "80 vs 2000," reflecting the eponymous track that makes a leap between the ethereal synth sounds of the 80s, hip hop scratch evocations, and the electro loops of the current century of machines. In the middle, a dissonant and wandering jazz-funk guitar. This Sylvain Luc by Renaud Letang is a first in the rich career of the composer. Used to sharing the stage and studio with musicians from all backgrounds, the Basque composer "duets" this time with a producer, creating a subtle mirror effect, not just a simple illustration of his music. Indeed, with Sylvain Luc, you never know what to expect.
