Improvisations recorded live at Le Triton, Les Lilas,
by Florian Tirot, November 12 2015
Is the audience in control? Certainly, the trio's themes are chosen at random, but the musicians' imagination defies all predictions. Jean-Jacques Birgé invited Pascal Contet and Antonin-Tri Hoang to free themselves from styles and categories, composing instant scenarios whose suggestive power gives everyone the freedom to make their own cinema. It's a music of parti-pris that plays with contrasts, loves surprises and knows only how to share.
Cards randomly chosen by the audience belong to the game Oblique Strategies conceived by Brian Eno and Peter Schmidt.
