Jacques Demierre Still(u)n(r)es(t)s_ Camille Emaille & Raphal Ortis ()

“Still​(​u​)​n​(​r​)​es​(​t​)​s“ (2020) __/ A composition by Jacques Demierre (CH) __/ Camille Emaille : percussions (F) Raphaël Ortis : amplified percussions (CH) __/ Between stillness and unrest, two opposing but intertwined poles, just like in the title “Still​(​u​)​n​(​r​)​es​(​t​)​s“, that would sum up, but too easily, this piece and its composer. Jacques Demierre, emblematic figure of the Swiss scene, is an unstopable experimenter, sometimes fond of arduous concepts, sometimes improviser roughing up his piano and master of tension and surprise. - moreover, we owe him a lot for the emergence of Insub(bordinations). In “Still​(​u​)​n​(​r​)​es​(​t​)​s“, the ardor, the phrased lyricism and “noble“ instruments of Camille Emaille, a young percussionist and improviser, merge while remaining distinguishable, with the colder, almost mechanical, interpretation by Raphaël Ortis, discreet musician but faithful to the diverse activities of Insub, and its amplified percussions and DIY “bass/drum“. __/ More : HD audio : Interview about the piece : __/ - a project by & - 2020 __/ Supported by : Prohelvetia (“Close distance“ programm) / Fondation Suisa / Fondation Nicati-De Luze
