Jean-Philippe Collard-Neven - Fleeting Music

7 fleeting compositions for piano. Memory and improvisation. A mysterious paradox. The improvisation flies away and the musical score stays. Here is something preserved from the irreversible flow of time, which should not have left any trace except in the memory of a few listeners. Belgian pianist, composer and improviser, born in 1975. Jean-Philippe Collard-Neven treads the career path of an atypical musician where classical, contemporary,  electroacoustic, jazz and improvisation, French chanson,theater, dance, cinema, and literature coexist side by side. Far from being a mindlessly voracious form of eclecticism, this diversity is in him the expression of a single-minded passion, an open-minded spirit which steers clear of pigeon-holing and weaves connecting threads between styles, genres and periods. The most varied encounters have forged his musical identity. The jazz double-bass player Jean-Louis Rassinfosse (2 albums at FUGA LIBERA), the French violist Vincent Royer (2 CD on SUB ROSA), the composers Luc Ferrari and David Shea, Jean-Luc Fafchamps, Vinko Globokar, the  visual artist and 'sculptor of vegetable particles' Bob Verschueren, the conductors Patrick Davin and Pierre Bartholomée, the cellist-composer Jean-Paul DessyŠ and so many more... He performs regularly in festivals in Belgium, France, Holland, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain, Tunisia, Chili, Mexico, Peru, Canada...
