Festival Autres rivages 32 e édition - Gerardo Di Giusto / La Pierre d'Eden
Presentation
Singular ripples and protrusions from the Gerardo Di Giusto / Eric Longsworth duo in the first part of "La Pierre d'Eden", in which a sound Tunisia unfolds, sublimated by the lyrical voice of Alia Sellami and the euphone of Marc-Antoine Millon.
The 32ᵉ edition of the Autres Rivages festival invites you to enjoy the beautiful summer evenings, while letting yourself be rocked - or lifted in rhythm! - by top-quality musical performances.
Opening act :
"Double bass - Piano, an extraordinary duo for virtuoso, original, dynamic, seductive yet poetic music. Gerardo Di Giusto's Argentinian roots intertwine with Eric Longsworth's jazz background in a contemporary quest for their popular cultures."
Gerardo Di Giusto Refined, contemporary Argentinean pianist-composer (writing, improvisation) with roots in Argentinean tradition. Training at the Córdoba Conservatory, then Paris (piano, writing, jazz arrangement at the C.I.M. with Laurent Cugny), Diploma in Orchestral Conducting from the École Normale de Musique de Paris. International career in Europe, Latin America and Japan (soloist and composer).
"Gerardo Di Giusto ostensibly changes the perspective of contemporary Argentine music" (Le Monde de la Musique)
Eric Longsworth, American living in France, composer and cellist, "unclassifiable" artist, at the confluence of several styles. Author of a singular musical universe between jazz and contemporary music, endowed with an obvious sense of rhythm, cello virtuoso drawing from his electric instrument as many captivating melodies as original harmonies.
La Pierre d'Eden :
Music for voice, electronics and Euphone.
Texts by Tunisian poet Ouled Ahmed. Alia Sellami (Voice, composition) - Marc Antoine Millon (Euphone, electronics and composition) - Jean Benoit Gosse (5.1 diffusion)
Tunisie Sonore: the recording of "soundscapes" in Tunis, in the Medina, in the street with local musicians Salah El Ouergli (Gombri) , Ahmed Litaiem (Naï), students of Alia Sellami at the Institut Supérieur de Musique de Tunis.
Composition: spectral analysis of "soundscapes", their own harmonies and rhythms, forms the basis of the compositional process. The transcultural aspect of Alia Sellami's voice, uncommon in the world of singing, enables polymorphous writing: operatic voice (worked), traditional singing (raw voice), speaking/singing (slam). Texts are superimposed on recomposed, mixed soundscapes and the crystalline vocals of the Euphone. Electroacoustic computing multiplies the voices and exposes these polyphonies, over which the solo voice expresses itself live. These "voices" are spatialized thanks to 5.1 broadcasting and real-time mixing.
Project supported by the Institut français de Tunis, DRAC Nouvelle Aquitaine, OARA, Festival International des Francophonies.
