#54


Cette newsletter récapitule toutes les nouveautés apportées sur le site depuis le 28 janvier dernier. Parmi celles-ci, la nouvelle rubrique Scores/Partitions qui présente des partitions de Robert Wyatt, Soft Machine, Matching Mole ainsi que quelques surprises.

Je remercie très chaleureusement les musiciens qui m'ont envoyé avec enthousiasme leurs arrangements : Patrice Meyer, Max Nagl, Sylvain Kassap, Fernandino Faraò (Artchipel orchestra), Vincent Artaud (et Daniel Yvinec), Francesco Forges, Jean-Max Delva (Anaïd), Stéphane Collin, Jason T. Ingram, Jean-Philippe Ramos... et un clin d'oeil affectueux à Herm Miller et Aymeric Leroy qui ont réalisé le site philmillerthelegacy.com qui comporte aussi de remarquables partitions.

Un grand merci également à Philippe Renaud pour ses bons conseils, à Helène Collon pour son précieux encouragement et dont le foisonnant carnet d'adresses m'a facilité l'accès à certains musiciens.

Bien entendu cette rubrique va continuer à s'enrichir de nouvelles partitions. C'est donc un appel que je lance à tous les musiciens qui veulent faire vivre la musique de Robert Wyatt en partageant leurs interprétations de son répertoire.

J'espère que ceux qui tardent à me répondre comprendront mieux ma démarche et participeront bientôt à ce projet exaltant.

 


This newsletter summarizes all the new features on the site since January 28th.
Among these, the new Scores/Partitions section which presents scores by Robert Wyatt, Soft Machine, Matching Mole as well as some surprises.

I warmly thank the musicians who enthusiastically sent me their arrangements: Patrice Meyer, Max Nagl, Sylvain Kassap, Fernandino Faraò (Artchipel orchestra), Vincent Artaud (and Daniel Yvinec), Francesco Forges, Jean-Max Delva (Anaïd), Stéphane Collin, Jason T. Ingram, Jean-Philippe Ramos... and an affectionate nod to Herm Miller and Aymeric Leroy who created the website philmillerthelegacy.com which also contains many remarkable scores.

A big thank you also to Philippe Renaud for his good advice, to Helène Collon for her precious encouragement and whose abundant address book facilitated my access to certain musicians.

Of course this section will continue to be enriched with new scores. I am therefore appealing to all musicians who want to bring Robert Wyatt's music to life by sharing their interpretations of his repertoire.

I hope that those who are slow to respond will better understand my approach and will soon participate in this exciting project.
