Mein bisher großartigstes Musikerlebnis war das Konzert von Herbie Hancock in Barcelona. Wenn ich jedoch am 18. Oktober in Paris in diesem einen Konzertsaal gesessen hätte, ich glaube dann hätte es in meinem Kopf richtig Zoff gegeben, denn schon vor dem Bildschirm konnte ich meine Gefühle, schreiend vor Begeisterung, kaum im Zaum halten.

Versus is a unique event, bringing together an original mix of big names from a range of musical horizons, united by the desire to create and celebrate alternative sounds. The fruit of four years of passionate exchange, Versus offers audiences the chance to explore a variety of works and styles from a new perspective, inventing an entirely different way of listening to music.

The program will feature one of the founding works of the electro scene, “City Life” by Steve Reich, and a more recent piece, “Streets” by Bruno Mantovani, one of the leading lights of the “new gen” of French composers, completed by six works from Carl Craig.

Craig’s finely balanced and constantly changing techno sound was the first to be fused and fermented with other musical genres. As a sign of his musical maturity, and the realization of a personal dream, Craig will grasp the Versus nettle to combine his own style with an orchestral form and language.

His works will be arranged by Francesco Tristano. Thanks to the openness and depth of his style, this pianist has imposed his unique sound, which juggles classical and contemporary sounds for both improvised and composed works, with incredible ease.

In solchen Moment kotzt es mit dicke an, dass das einbinden von Videos noch nicht funktioniert. Habe bisher noch keine Möglichkeit gefunden, oder Hilfe bekommen. Die ganzen YouTube-Bullshit Videos fehlen mir ja nicht, aber solche Perlen möchte ich schon gerne hier haben. Also entschuldigt, wenn es nur einen Link gibt.
