Électro flash au National de Lille avec Yann Robin

electro flash

Trois compositeurs de la jeune généraiton se jouent des frontières du son.

Franck Bedrossian (né en 1971)
Transmission

Raphaël Cendo (né en 1975)
Scratch Data

Yann Robin (né en 1974)
Symétriades

Carte blanche à Yann Robin, compositeur en résidence o.n.l. Robin Meier (Informaticien), Lionel Bord (basson), Tom De Cock (percussions), Nicolas Crosse (contrebasse).

Avec Transmission pour basson et électronique, Franck Bedrossian déploie énergie et sons saturés sur fond de bruits de disques vinyle.

Scratch Data de Raphaël Cendo est une sorte de jeu de miroir entre percussionniste et électronique qui semble démultiplier la présence de l'instrumentiste.

Yann Robin, lui, repousse les limites du son avec une contrebasse et un dispositif informatique dans ses Symétriades dont le titre fait écho au roman de science-fiction, Solaris, signé par Stanislas Lem.

Mercredi 10 décembre à 12h30, auditorium du nouveau siècle, Lille. Tarifs 8 / 5 €. Durée 45 minutes environ.

Orchestre national de Lille, 30 place Mendès France / CS 70119, 59027 Lille cédex. 03 20 12 82 40. Association subventionnée par le Conseil régional Nord-Pas de Calais, le Ministère de la Culture et de la Communication, Lille Métropole et la Ville de Lille.
