- In The Ocean

Reprise par Bang On A Can de l'oeuvre composée par Brian Eno en 1978.

Durée : 1h47

MEDICI ARTS (3077558)

"20 ans après la première version de Music For Airports de Brian Eno, sortie en 1978, le Bang On A Can All Stars a enregistré une version instrumentale pour le label Point Music. On peut parler d'une renaissance. L'œuvre de studio de Brian Eno a été transmuée en une pièce acoustique très proche de l'originale, mais plus bouleversante encore. Cette version fut jouée en 1998 à l’aéroport de Stansted, près de Londres, en présence de Brian Eno et Robert Wyatt (le pianiste de la version initiale). Brian Eno avoua avoir eu lui-même les larmes aux yeux, comme d'autres spectateurs à l’aéroport de Stansted, à l'écoute de cette œuvre qu'il n'avait pas conçue pour être interprêtée "live".

Sur ce DVD Music for Airports est capté à l'occasion du Holland festival de New York en 1999. Le Bang On a Can était alors accompagné par des images filmées par Frank Scheffer dans un hall d'aéroport retravaillées dans un flou artistique vaporeux. Le film se regarde comme Music for Airports s'écoute, avec un certain détachement, d'un œil distrait, l'oreille charmée sans être totalement mobilisée, jusqu'à ce que l'on soit lentement conquis. On ressent alors finalement une certaine fascination pour ces images indéfinissables dont on devine la teneur : des passants dans le grand hall, le mouvement des portes coulissantes, celui des escalators... De la même façon aussi que l'on fut et que l'on continue à être fasciné par la musique, par ces quatre lents mouvement combinant la répétition à l'aléatoire.

La deuxième partie du DVD, In The Ocean, est également un film de Frank Scheffer, de 2001. Ce documentaire est particulièrement limpide, synthétique et complet sur la démarche des trois fondateurs de Bang On A Can, Michael Gordon, David Lang et Julia Wolfe. Il propose un subtil montage d'interviews d'eux et de John Cage, Steve Reich, Philip Glass, Elliot Carter et Louis Andriessen ponctué d'extraits d'œuvres sur fonds d'images urbaines. C'est non seulement la trajectoire du Bang On A Can qui est explicitée, mais aussi l'évolution de la musique contemporaine américaine de la seconde moitié du XXe siècle, à travers ses compositeurs les plus influents."

Les happenings organisés en Europe, dans les années précédant mai 68, par mes amis et moi, contrairement à ceux de nos correspondants d'outre-atlantique, se sont soulevés contre l'ordre moral, contre la dictature de la marchandise, contre toute autocensure en matière de sexe et de politique."
J.J. Lebel

Sunlove comporte des extraits de la performance de Soft Machine lors du happening organisé par Jean-Jacques Lebel à Cogolin en août 1967.

‘Jean-Jacques Lebel had us playing one of his happenings, around a swimming pool at night. And the only rule was that everybody had to be undressed, including the band. Completely. If you weren’t, you had to stay indoors. It was a very nice feeling, on a warm, breezy, Saint-Tropez evening, to be playing without clothes. That’s when I realised you could do it. And being behind a drumkit protected what they call your modesty.’
