Christophe Chassol

Angel Bat Dawid - one of the great jazz discoveries of recent years as a guest at Chassol in Ground Control. Chicago-native Angel Bat Dawid is one of the many talents tracked down by the US label International Anthem. Together with trumpeter Jaimie Branch and drummer Makaya McCraven, Angel Bat Dawid ensures that the "Windy City" is on the radar for jazz all over the world. The musician switches between vocals, clarinet and piano with amazing ease. But apart from that, Angel Bat Dawid is able to breathe a highly spiritual dimension into her music like no other, so that her jazz almost borders on gospel. Listening to the multi-instrumentalist therefore sometimes has something of a transcendental experience, at times reminiscent of the music of Sun Ra. This concert at Ground Control reveals all the artistic glory of their music. Recording of July 4, 2022 at Ground Control, Paris.

Vanille is a little Parisian girl who has just arrived in Guadeloupe. She will be immersed in an exotic and mysterious adventure, meeting picturesque characters and magical flowers, all embellished with a touch of Creole. These holidays promise to be rich and full of surprises!

Ephraïm es un chico etíope que va siempre acompañado de su inseparable oveja. Vive con unos parientes pero no consigue adaptarse a su nueva vida. Un día su tío le anuncia que tiene que sacrificar a su oveja para la próxima comida festiva. Pero Ephraïm está dispuesto a todo para salvar a su amiga.

Pierre Schaeffer, the father of musique concrete, whose greatest legacy is electronic music, invited us to consider music in terms of sounds rather than notes. Today, every sound can be recorded, hijacked, manipulated and reinvented into an original musical creation. SOUNDHUNTERS - a musical expedition - traces the adventure of KIZ, two new coming musicians, into the world of Soundhunters. From Paris to Malmo, from London to Baltimore, the film follows their encounters with exceptional musicians (Matthew Herbert, Chassol, Matmos, Jean Michel Jarre, Blixa Bargeld or Cosmo Sheldrake) from very different backgrounds and genres. Integrating the sounds from their journey into exciting musical scenes, KIZ playfully show us how the world can be turned into a limitless music instrument.

After Nola Chérie and Indiamore, Chassol presents BIG SUN, last part of the trilogy. Big Sun, Christophe Chassol’s brilliantly-dazzling fourth album, crowns his trilogy of ultrascores (a method he elaborated for harmonizing, symphonizing real life, the ‘here and now’), which started out in Creole-speaking New Orleans (Nola Chérie, 2011) before pursuing its route through India (Indiamore, 2013).

La historia arranca una tarde en plena zona rural con una casa aislada que se anima de pronto como por medio de un acto de locura: los objetos y los muebles se desatan contra sus habitantes. Niamh, de 11 años de edad, es la única superviviente de la sangrienta masacre, obra del mobiliario, donde sus padres y su hermanito murieron. La policía sospecha de una banda de asesinos vándalos e ignora el testimonio de Niamh, que denuncia la rabia mortífera de los objetos y de los lugares. Recogen a la niña de manera provisional Nat y Lucas, amigos de sus padres, que se esfuerzan por apaciguar su traumatismo rodeándole de amor y brindándole una vida y una escolaridad normales con la ayuda de una asistente social. Pero Niamh no encuentra sosiego, sino todo lo contrario: a su alrededor los signos del peligro siguen manifestándose y en los lugares por los que pasa permanece una violencia disimulada.

George, Max y Ricky tienen un grupo. Como tantos otros músicos, deben compaginar su pasión con otro trabajo que les permita pagar el alquiler. Hacer de cocineros en un centro psiquiátrico de máxima seguridad no parecía mala idea: podían trabajar juntos, les dejaba tiempo para ensayar y la seguridad del centro aseguraba el mínimo contacto con los internos... Hasta que, una noche, una fuerte tormenta deja sin electricidad el edificio, desactivando todos los dispositivos de seguridad. Los tres amigos se verán atrapados en la cocina, sin barreras que los separen de los perturbados, convertidos ahora en una turba descontrolada y violenta.
