FREQUENCE 119
ALBUM

Gilles Bernard Quartet Marie-Helene Blay

It's not to mention a very elaborate work of breaks of rhythms, research of angles, and perspectives of cascades which serve ingeniously the context of the art gallery at the same time as that of the performance. The crescendos often rely on distraction, a chain of actions that leads to a peak while another rise is set up discreetly. A final bouquet effect of fireworks all in all, at the top of which triumphed a music festival ...
