Descriptions, Reviews, &c.

"A more than original project for drummer and percussionist Didier Lasserre, better known as an improviser (having participated in numerous recordings, mainly in small forms, from solos and duets to quartets), Silence was pleased is his first composed work.

To interpret it, the musician has chosen no less than seven partners to respond to the constant search that drives him, that of a "fair relationship between sound and silence". To go towards what he heard, he had to "find a path", note with precise indications the key points - entrances, exits, superpositions - melodic profiles, with an important part still being left to improvisation.

From the selected septet, we therefore witness the appearance of sub-groups, often duets, sometimes a trio, and once for the finale, a quartet which fleetingly harbors the ghost of a sextet. In the end, a high quality musical melting pot carrying a lot of emotions, but also a lot of intimate daydreams, even post-baroque."-Ayler

"Christine Wodrascka (born onJune 15, 1957 in Aix en Provence) is a pianist of the French improvised and contemporary music scene, based in Toulouse (France).

Sister of the writer Alain Wodrascka, Christine Wodrascka comes from a Slavo-Provençal family. His grandfather, Charles Rostaing was a French linguist, specialist in French toponymy in general and in Provence in particular.

She started music at a very young age with the classical piano and very quickly turned to the creation of free score pieces for her pleasure. Being able to make music while being completely free was a real eye opener. It was around the age of 20 that she moved to total improvisation, through jazz.

In parallel, Christine Wodrascka did university studies in musicology until obtaining the CAPES in music education.

She obtained a special performance award at the Music Jazz Focus in Bordeaux with the improvised music group Nothing Toulouse, is a winner of the Cap d'Agde jazz competition and composes for the groups she has created since 1992.

Experimental, Christine Wodrascka uses her grand piano as an instrument not only for strings but also for percussion, diving into her piano to strike, rub or stroke the strings with all types of accessories such as a scallop or a wooden rod to express a new language. For Christine Wodrascka, improvised music is both the means of expression closest to her and a true philosophy whose unique and authentic moments she defends.

The duo is his favorite training because it is both intimate and united, while having a precise discourse: play while listening to the other."

"Gaël Mevel is a cellist, pianist, improviser and composer, born in 1966 in Sarcelles.

Gaël Mevel studied classical piano, then jazz with Eric Watson, contemporary music with Jay Gottlieb, cello with Philippe Straszewski and Agnès Vesterman. He is also a graduate of the École nationale supérieure Louis-Lumière , cinema alternative sound, and has a state diploma for teaching jazz.

His work, at the crossroads between art, seeks a way in the relationship between written and improvised.

He has played with Jacques Di Donato, Jean-Jacques Avenel, Thierry Waziniak, Didier Petit, Barre Phillips, John Hebert, Michael Attias, Caroline Lagouge Chaussavoine, Didier Lasserre, Catherine Jauniaux, Agnès Vesterman, Jean-Luc Cappozzo, Diemo Schwarz.

He composes for silent cinema (Centre Pompidou, Musée d'Orsay, Cinémathèque française, Forum des images, Musée de l'Orangerie, film festival, etc.) and thus creates music for more than 70 films, solo but also with Catherine Jauniaux ("La passion de Jeanne d'Arc" by Carl Dreyer), Jacques Di Donato and Thierry Waziniak ("Les larmes du clown" by Victor Sjöström), Thierry Waziniak ("The Adventures of Prince Ahmed" by Lotte Reiniger), Agnès Vesterman ( The highest the hour of Franck Borzage). In 2013 he created the music for "Le Vent" by Victor Sjöström with Catherine Jauniaux, Thierry Waziniak and Jacques Di Donato, mixing some poems of Saint John Perse ("winds") with the music. In 2017, he created the music for Metropolis in a cello duo with the electro-acousticist Diemo Schwarz.

In 2019 he created the music for "the woman on the moon" by Fritz Lang for the Musée de l'Orangerie in cello and electronic duo, with his son Nathanaël Mevel. This creation will welcome crystal player Baschet Catherine Brisset later in 2020.

In 1996 he created the Gaël Mevel Trio with Jean-Jacques Avenel and Thierry Waziniak, (two discs are shown, one with AA disc and another with Leo discs). In 2000, the Gaël Mevel quintet (Jacques Di Donato, clarinet - Jean-jacques Avenel, double bass - Thierry Waziniak, drums - Didier Petit, cello) became a research site for the written-improvisation relationship. Two records will appear on Leo records. He improvises with the dancer-choreographer Caroline Lagouge Chaussavoine (the duo is called "without any noise towards the sea"), and creates the music for the show "Jardins" (seven dancers and three musicians).

He creates interdisciplinary shows where theatre, dance, music, culinary art and literature intersect. In 2008, together with Caroline Lagouge Chaussavoine, he created a theater in a rural environment, in Essonne, " The wooden house ". In 2010, he created the "promenades" festival where live art and culinary art intersect. In 2012, the Alta Quartet (Michaël Attias, alto sax - John Hebert, double bass, Gaël Mevel, piano - Thierry waziniak, drums) was recorded and met two French musicians and two New York musicians.

He created the Rives label in 2013 with painter Dominique Masse and musician Thierry Waziniak. In 2013 the duo Gaël Mevel-Michaël Attias, around the compositions of Gaël Mevel. He creates a new trio in which, as a cellist, he improvises with Jean-Luc Cappozzo (trumpet and bugle) and Thierry Waziniak (drums): "This summer morning is still a bit cool" in tribute to Fernando Pessoa. In 2015 he created the orchestra "Le Cercle", a circular ensemble of improvisation and composition. What is special about this project is that the orchestra of seven musicians surrounds the audience, so that it is the core of the creation, thus trying to reinvent the relationship between musicians and spectators.

The ensemble's musicians are Gaël Mevel (cello and composition), Jacques Di Donato (clarinet), Jean-Luc Cappozzo (trumpet and bugle), Daniel Lifermann (Shakuhachi flute), Thierry Waziniak (percussion), Nicolas Nageotte (bass clarinet), Diemo Schwarz (electroacoustic creation). In 2016, the Alta trio was created. Michaël Attias on alto saxophone, Thierry Waziniak on drums and Gaël Mevel on cello. The purpose of this trio is to develop an intimate relationship with the melodic meaning. The trio plays pieces by Ravel, Joaquin Després, Ernst Bloch, Manuel de Falla.

In 2019, the ensemble "from nowhere and from Japan" was created, a tribute to an imaginary Japan for 4 musicians and a dancer. With Fumie Hihara, voice and koto, Daniel Lifermann, shakuhachi flute, Thierry Waziniak, percussion, Gaël Mevel cello and Namiko Gahier dance. The project concerns a collection of poems by Jacques Dupin of the same name.

At the same time, he started working on lyrics.

He plays "Prélude de Pan" by Jean Giono with his cello

"Song of the river, lyrics by Barry Lopez, with his cello

Ode Maritime de Pessoa with cellist Didier Petit

He accompanies on the cello Dada poems read by the actress Maryline Fontaine for the Musée de l'Orangerie."
