Description

Alternating Currents Live presents Temple of Enthusiasm (The Bridge 2.3) featuring Marvin Tate—voice, poetry Erwan Keravec—bagpipes Gerrit Hatcher—tenor saxophone Lia Kohl—cello Gaspar Claus—cello They started to think of it this way: as the creation of a magnetic field in music. Four Aces and a Queen, of course, and all combinations of the unimaginable, all balances, all imbalances. First between a poet with a wide-open conscience (Marvin Tate), a hallucinating bagpiper (Erwan Keravec), a devilish saxophonist (Gerrit Hatcher), and two cellists in ambush (Gaspar Claus and Lia Kohl), in a racket. Each one of them having taken care to be rooted in a territory or a history (from the frankness of Chicago to all the winds of Brittany, from jazz to pop to improvisation), while remaining free of its movements to start again from scratch and to infinity. Each sees or hears things only in their own generous way, sonically tugging in their own direction while being attracted by the directions that the other four discover. Pentacle. The Bridge is a transatlantic network for jazz and creative music that brings together improvising musicians from France and Chicago. Support for the Bridge comes from Adami, Institut Français, Le Ministère de la Culture, Centre National de la Musique, SACEM, SPEDIDAM, Adami, The University of Chicago, and other sponsors.
