D'autres sons
Sophie Bernado: bassoon
Catherine Delaunay: clarinets
David Chevallier: guitar, compositions
Reeds, strings, single and double.
Sounds, notes. Written and improvised.
Two women, one man.
Old acquaintances, new friends.
Where do our ideas come from?
How do our desires take shape?
How do our paths intersect and why do they sometimes merge?
It's the same for this trio as for many past creations: something happens one day that triggers a process, often unbeknownst to the person who will one day take hold of it and bring it to fruition.
This is how “D'autres sons” came about: years of music shared between Catherine Delaunay and David Chevallier - back in the days of “Tous Dehors”, an improvisation session between a bassoon and a theorbo at Sophie's house...
We listen to each other in concert, we (re)discover each other, ideas for mixed sounds spring up, desires are born.
The instrumentation, atypical in the world of jazz - a combination of bassoon, clarinets and guitar - creates a woody sound identity, sometimes suave, sometimes rough. Improvisation and composition blend seamlessly.
A kind of chamber music played by jazz musicians.
