Description
Pictures and videos

Being Dantès is the first fruit of this collaboration: a repertoire of compositions where obvious, familiar melodic lines navigate complex and unique structures. Inspired by the first part of Alexandre Dumas's novel, while imprisoned in the Château d'If, Edmond Dantès slowly transforms before being reborn as the Count of Monte Cristo. The trio invites us to a musical journey through this initiatory process that unfolds in sound. The pieces in the repertoire, which include a four-movement suite, are conceived as pictures that revisit the decisive moments in the intimate adventure of the walled-up Edmond Dantès.

Tomorrow Is Minimalist. Three Independent Motions. Tall, Infinite, Microscopic. Folk songs, improvisation, variations on randomness, memory, and its degradation. Texts that play with the gaze of childhood. The meeting between two Norwegian musicians from the avant-garde for which Sébastien Palis imagined the music. A journey between shadow and light, acoustics and electronics. What becomes of beauty when it disappears? What becomes of memory when the time comes to forget? Karoline Wallace, Inger Hannisdal, Sébastien Palis. At a time when we should be striving for degrowth, faced with the extinction of species and cultures, Tomorrow Is Minimalist.
