VIVACES is the new project of guitarist PIERRE VAN DORMAEL.
Van Dormael studied at Boston's Berklee College of Music, and
has taught at the Dakar Conservatory, Senegal, where a number
of tracks of this new CD were composed. Van Dormael has been
fortunate enough to play with musicians such as Philip
Catherine, Steve Coleman, Bill Frisell and Soriba KouyatΘ. He
has also been the motor behind numerous groups, including Nasa
Na (with Michel Hatzigeorgiou, StΘphane Galland and Fabrizio
Cassol), which later became Aka Moon.
VIVACES brings together the various styles of music that
interest him into a work that exposes the listener to different
aesthetic textures, and all the possible combinations.
Three very different sax players provide horns and
improvisation: Bo Vanderwerf on baritone (inspired by the modes
of Messiaen), Nicolas Kummert au tenor (inspired by the
rhythms) and Manu Hermia on soprano (inspired by Californian
and Brazilian sunshine). To provide harmonies in these
contrasts, electric and acoustic keyboards: Kris Defoort (his
yang / jazz) with Anne Wolf (his yin / emotion). For the groove
and mathematical rhythms: StΘphane Galland and Chander Sardjoe
on drums, with their finely-tuned, contemporary musical
sensibilities. Ben N'Gabo and the magic of traditional uneven
rhythms from Rwanda on tambour and djembΘ. Michel Seba and the
Latin heat of his congas. Benoεt Ruwet on Senegalese sabar, and
Otti Vanderwerf (the earth) on bass, with Pierre Van Dormael
(the air) on guitar.
The music of VIVACES is built on the confrontation between
rhythmic cycles and harmonic or melodic images that are both
complex and simple. Everything that could touch people and the
hearts, souls and bodies of men and women - for whatever reason
- has its place here, independently of any stylistic or
cultural reference
