Impro'baroque 1

Magnificent improvisation on Bach’s Prelude in C minor, BWV 847 by Jean-François Zygel (the original video of the performance is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-PhbHNAAS4). I discovered this performance when I was in the midst of a lot of work and yet, I had to drop all that I was doing in order to dive in this music, giving it many many hours, listening to it with my eyes. I fell behind on the other projects, but I most definitely have no regrets whatsoever.
I work with musicians who cover a broad spectrum of the music world, from ancient and baroque to bleeding-edge electroacoustic music, I am pulled in many different directions.
There are privileged moments when “all that” becomes one, as in the work I did with belgian pianist Jean-Philippe Collard-Neven (see this example of an improvisation, recorded live, in concert, on Scriabin's Prelude Opus 11 Nº 4: https://vimeo.com/25505797).
Jean-François Zygel’s take on this Bach prelude is one of those special moments, manifesting great respect for the original music while being fully involved in today’s musical language, a truly inspiring moment.
This is the kind of music I would love to improvise on/to visually, in real-time. I am convinced there’s a whole new world begging to be made visible, a world where improvised music and (equally improvised) images can come together and create, together in real-time, something that neither can make manifest alone.
May life grant me the time and the resources needed to contribute more to that.
