|
| Description: | In the wake of their acclaimed comeback album Figures (2020), Aksak Maboul took a
playful sideways step to create this total work, a 63-minute, continuous suite of fifteen
pieces, which could be described as an experimental audio play. The thread running
through Une aventure de VV (Songspiel) is Véronique Vincentâ??s text, an enigmatic
philosophical-poetical tale unfolding through monologues and dialogues, spoken and
sung by a series of characters.
The music was written & arranged by Marc Hollander and features his characteristic
genre-hopping tendencies: strands of electronica, pop, jazz, collage, techno, ambient,
improv, krautrock, contemporary classical & systems music are merrily woven
together, in the inimitable Aksak Maboul style.
The albumâ??s subtitle, Songspiel, highlights its theatrical/musical aspect: the work pays
oblique homage to the those experimental radio plays that once emerged from the
creative workshops of the BBC, the RTF and the RAI, and especially to those German
Hörspiels which, at their best, might combine spoken word, instrumental or electronic
music, songs and sonic research.
Une aventure de VV also modestly alludes to certain stage works written by
adventurous composers during the first half of the 20th century, which embraced
singing, spoken dialogues and elements inspired by popular music. Those composers
sometimes invented genre names to describe their pieces: fantaisie lyrique,
mimodrama, or... songspiel).
Une aventure de VV (Songspiel) is released as part of the Made To Measure composersâ??
series. This underlines the special character of the project: a detour though an
unexplored zone, rather than the follow-up to the previous album (this could actually
have been said about each of the records in Aksak Maboulâ??s discography so far...). - .. (SONGSPIEL) - MADE TO MEASURE VOL.48 |
