Les Barricades, revisited

2021-11-28T20:49:03.117Z

(English follows)
"Les Barricades Mystérieuses” de François Couperin est une musique qui m’accompagne depuis de très nombreuses années (informations plus détaillées sur la page qui suit, "Les Barricades mystérieuses” interprétée magistralement au clavecin par Kenneth Gilbert: https://vimeo.com/284989568).
Alors que j’écoutais avec ravissement un autre beau concert de L’Arpeggiata, concert présenté lors du Festival de musique ancienne d’Utrecht lle 29 août 2021, une version magnifique, magique, des Barricades, interprétée avec une immense sensibilité à la harpe est apparue.
Christina Pluhar m’a gentiment communiqué le nom de la harpiste, Carlotta Pupulin, qui est une de ses étudiantes en harpe baroque.
J’ai été très touché par cette interprétation: grâce, justesse, simplicité (dans le meilleur sens du terme), je me suis senti obligé de l'écouter avec les yeux, même si je n'ai aucun droit sur cet enregistrement (cette pièce n'est donc qu'un “sketch”).
L’enregistrement utilisé est d’assez mauvaise qualité (via le web) et, comme d’habitude, “mes” images naissant de ce que j’entends, c’est seulement quand elles ont acquis un petit goût de patine ancienne qu’elles ont commencé à dialoguer avec cette magnifique musique.

François Couperin’s “Les Barricades mystérieuses” is a music which has been with me for many many years (more detailed info on this page, Kenneth Gilbert's magistral interpretation of “Les Barricades mystérieuses” https://vimeo.com/284989568).
While I was listening with immense pleasure to yet another beautiful concert by L’Arpeggiata, concert presented during the Utrecht Early Music Festival on August 29, 2021, a magnificent and magical harp rendition of the Barricades appeared.
Christina Pluhar kindly told me the name of the harpist, Carlotta Pupulin, who happens to be her baroque harp student.
I was deeply moved by that interpretation: graceful, respectful, simple (in the best sense of the word), I felt obliged to listen to it with my eyes, even if I have no right to this recording (therefore, this makes this piece a “sketch”).
The recording is of a fairly poor quality (done via the web) and, as usual, “my” images being born through/from what I hear, they started dialoguing with the music only when they acquired a bit of an "ancient patina.”

Impro 1 (v. 2)

2021-10-31T19:11:59.451Z

This is a magnificent improvisation performed on an exceptional Steinway (Ars Musica 2009, Flagey, Studio 1, Brussels) by Jean-Philippe Collard-Neven (http://www.collardneven.com).
Jean-Philippe and I have done several concerts and films together .

I have returned to this piece several times since, using sections of it as source images for making other films, I also often use it in my live performances as one of the many streams I "play" with.

Have been there again just now as this is the second “movie” done with/for/to/from this music, 9 years after the first one.
(First one is here, with more substantial notes: https://vimeo.com/48091932)

Here’s a folder of images extracted from this new movie (work in progress): https://www.tinyurl.com/4n52md57

Festival ready (digital file, .h.264, ProRes 422 HQ or ProRes 4444)
