...according to our Phil on 21 April 2011.
This guy is a new name to me. He's a self taught composer of musique concrète which is nice. I have to admit I don't know masses about concrete music but I can talk a bit about the CD and what you're gonna expect to get. I had no idea what to expect but minutes into the opener and there's loads of people screaming sounding like they're having a bad time. Perhaps a spot of raping and pillaging going on? God knows.... Lots of strange screams, strange eerie noises, clattering and banging all designed to make a reasonably uncomfortable listen. Also there's some experimental electronics, some very tonal business going on and some harsh high frequencies. Kinda difficult but if you're into the more sound art side of things then there's plenty of joy here to be had over 2 CD's!
Lionel Marchetti (France, 1967) is a composer of
musique concrète. First self-taught, he discovered the
catalogue of Musique Concrète with Xavier Garcia. He
has composed in the CFMI of Lyon 2 University between
1989 and 2002, where he still organizes workshops
focused on the loudspeaker, the recorded sound and
Musique Concrète, both on practical and theoretical
levels. He has built his own recording studio, and
composes also in the Groupe de Recherches Musicales
in Paris since 1993. Lionel Marchetti also performs
improvisation using microphones and loudspeakers, as a
duo with Jérôme Noetinger, with the collective Le Cube
with (Christophe Auger, Étienne Caire, Christophe
Cardoen, Xavier Quérel, Jérôme Noetinger, Gaëlle
Rouard) that performs live music and where films are
shown and worked on interactively, and with the
collective Archipel: Emmanuel Petit, Mathieu
Werchowski, Sophie Agnel, Fabrice Charles, Pascal
Battus. Since 1992, he organizes regular workshops
centered on Radio and creation together with Olivier
Capparos for France Culture. At the same time, he writes
poetry, and develops theoretical thoughts on Musique
concrète and the art of the loudspeaker.
„At the dawn of musique concrète, back in the 1950s, the
music critics, closely following the new movement, soon
acclaimed a great deal of the compositions – some perhaps
too soon – as canonical. In my estimation, however, what
truly deserves that status is many works by the musique
concrète composers of the last 20 years, even though they
have not received much attention in the press. To my mind,
the characteristics of numerous compositions by Lionel
Marchetti, including those featured in this collection, are
fullness and perfection, a design both obscure and
transparent at the same time, so typical of a classic work. "
