Antoine Berthiaume-guitar, percussion / Quentin SirJacq-piano,
percussion / Norman Teale-engineering, mixing, electronics
The young guitarist Antoine Berthiaume, who released in 2002 an
album of duets with Fred Frith and Derek Bailey titled Soshin,
unveils his second effort for Ambiances Magnetiques, Leaves and
Snows, a project also featuring pianist Quentin Sirjacq and sound
engineer Norman Teale. This meeting of fresh talents has given
birth to a brilliant, highly open, poetry-filled collaboration.
Certain meetings give such good results that one wonders if
something more than luck was at play. In the wonderful setting of
Mills College, California, Quentin Sirjacq and Antoine Berthiaume
are both in Joelle Landre's improvisation class. They are both
native French speakers, they both lead a jazz group and they share
a taste for adventure - enough common points to spark the
beginning of a great collaboration. Piano and guitar: a rather
unusual, often eschewed pairing that delivers at their fingertips
a ground for new explorations; a license to discover new sounds
and try out new musical ideas.
Norman Teale will be the cement that will make this album
possible. Teale's talent was unveiled in the course of the
collaboration and it became gradually obvious that his work with
electronics and mixing was becoming an integral part of the group.
And so Sirjacq and Berthiaume gave him carte blanche.
It is often said that jazz is about innovation while paying due
respect to tradition. Leaves and Snows is the work of three young
musicians eager to make their voices heard and to share their
music - very actual music, because it successfully brings together
their diverse musical identities (jazz, contemporary music, rock)
in a free improvisation context. The result: music that addresses
the listener, inviting him/her to widen his/her musical perception
through countless variations and colors, without ever weakening
the coherence of its poetical approach.
Guitarist, improviser and composer Antoine Berthiaume is active on
the jazz, ômusique actuelleö and contemporary music scenes. He
performs live regularly at the helm of a number of groups,
including Les Chemins de la route, the Berthiaume-Donato-Tanguay
Trio, and L'Hexacorde. He will be performing at the next Montreal
Jazz Festival. Pianist and composer Quentin Sirjacq hails from
France. His eclectic musical interests keep him active as an
improviser, a new music performer, and a composer of incidental
music for film and dance. American sound engineer, producer and
composer Norman Teale is a graduate student in Mills College's
Electronic Music and Recording Media program.
