After Claude Debussy

Claudine Simon (prepared piano) and Christian Sebille (electronics) both have a relationship with musical writing, even if their training and careers have taken dissimilar paths. Claudine Simon, diverting the instrument she has always played, questions her intimate relationship with the piano. As for Christian Sebille, seeking to rediscover the pleasure of immediate instrumental play, he develops controlled electronic lutherie.

The exploration of the timbres inside the piano constitutes the sound material of the transformations operated by the electronics. The improvisation is built through the dialogue between the two musicians thanks to the coming and going of sounds and musical proposals.

Then emerge reminiscences, evanescent phantoms between the materials and sonic features of three preludes by Claude Debussy. These quotations form the perspective axes of the walk. The landscape changes and metamorphoses between the thickness of the sounds, the memories that form our memory and the discovery of a never-before-seen panorama. We await the next angle and the surprise of another perspective.
