Concerts at the Manoir de Squividan from Wednesday 15 July to Wednesday 12 August.
This summer, music is back in the spotlight!
The gardens of estates and museums are shedding their status as ‘remarkable gardens’ to become veritable open-air stages! Join us on a musical journey from abbeys to castles. Vibrant jazz, world music, classical, folk and traditional Breton music: an inspired programme to get you moving, dancing and savouring beautiful summer evenings.*
*These concerts are scheduled to take place outdoors (in the sites’ parks).
Contingency plans will be in place in the event of bad weather.
On the programme: William Nicolas MORAILH
A performance combining the bombarde, biniou, vocals and spatialised sound.
Solo for bombarde, biniou, vocals… ‘Morailh’ is a piece for bombarde, biniou, vocals, sound processing and real-time spatialisation of sound using the Logelloop software.
William Nicolas has always played music with others; indeed, much of the music and instruments in Brittany were designed to be played in groups.
On the one hand, there is the ‘kan ha diskan’, a collaborative dance song characterised by long repetitions and subtle variations, where phrases overlap; and on the other, the ‘kan a boz’, a solo song meant to be listened to. Added to this are the biniou-bombarde duo, the bagad, the organ-bombarde…
He wanted to bring all these elements together in this project, to present a folk repertoire in a contemporary setting, and through an unconventional approach to this music.
This soundscape draws its material live from the timbres of raw instruments, sometimes broken down and repurposed, creating new instruments that combine without limit, to the point of recreating an immaterial electronic orchestra.
Computer programming here enables the reuse and invention of forms of interaction specific to Breton music, and, through the element of chance, makes the audience forget – in a disorienting way – that the machine is playing all the parts.
