Festival des musiques de création : Philippe Brochu-Pelletier & le CEM au Studio Desjardins du CEM

Thu 07 May 2026 • 08:00 pm Contemporary / Contemporary Jazz / Rock
Studio Desjardins du CEM - Chicoutimi Gratuit
· by Rédaction PAN M 360

C’est désormais une tradition au FMC : l’ouverture du festival est confiée à son créateur en résidence! Cette année, le saxophoniste, multi-instrumentiste et compositeur Philippe Brochu-Pelletier inaugure l’édition 2026 avec une nouvelle œuvre en première mondiale, créée lors d’une résidence d’un mois au CEM. À la croisée du jazz contemporain et d’une esthétique nourrie par l’énergie du rock, sa démarche explore les multiples possibilités expressives du saxophone transformé par l’amplification et les pédales d’effets. Loin de se limiter à un rôle mélodique soliste, l’instrument devient matière sonore, sculptant textures, rythmes et paysages immersifs. Entre écriture et improvisation, la musique se déploie dans une tension vivante, laissant une large place à l’exploration en temps réel, où le souffle acoustique se mêle aux architectures électroniques dans un équilibre à la fois sensible, organique et audacieux. Philippe s’est notamment illustré aux côtés de Julien Sagot, de l’Anomalie Big Band et de The Brooks. Son album C21H28O5 (2024) révèle sa signature sonore personnelle, minimaliste, texturée et immersive. Pour cette création, on l’entoure de complices aux parcours solides : Pascal Beaulieu (guitare), Guillaume Sliger (batterie), Hugo Tremblay (basse) et Émile Boucher-Cloutier (percussions), réunis dans un esprit de collaboration. Une ouverture de festival à l’image du FMC : un espace où la musique se crée, se transforme et prend vie sous nos yeux.

It has become a tradition at FMC: the festival’s opening is entrusted to its artist-in-residence. This year, saxophonist, multi-instrumentalist, and composer Philippe Brochu-Pelletier inaugurates the 2026 edition with a brand-new work presented in a world premiere, created during a month-long residency at the CEM. At the crossroads of contemporary jazz and an aesthetic fueled by the energy of rock, his approach explores the many expressive possibilities of the saxophone transformed through amplification and effects pedals. Far from being limited to a melodic solo role, the instrument becomes sonic material, shaping textures, rhythms, and immersive soundscapes. Balancing composition and improvisation, the music unfolds with a dynamic tension, leaving ample room for real-time exploration, where acoustic breath merges with electronic architectures in a sensitive, organic, and bold equilibrium. Philippe has notably performed alongside Julien Sagot, the Anomalie Big Band, and The Brooks. His album C21H28O5 (2024) showcases his distinctive sonic signature, minimalist, textured, and immersive. For this creation, he is joined by accomplished collaborators: Pascal Beaulieu (guitar), Guillaume Sliger (drums), Hugo Tremblay (bass), and Émile Boucher-Cloutier (percussion), brought together in a spirit of collaboration. A festival opening that reflects the spirit of FMC: a space where music is created, transformed, and comes to life before our eyes.
