Festival international de musique actuelle de Victoriaville : Guy Thouin & l’ensemble Infini

Sat 20 May 2023 • 03:00 pm Free Jazz
CARRÉ 150 (Salle F. Lemaire) - Victoriaville 36$
· by Rédaction PAN M 360

Légende vivante du free jazz et de la contreculture québécoise, le batteur GUY THOUIN a été membre fondateur du Quatuor du jazz libre du Québec, membre de l’Infonie et musicien de l’Osstidcho. Aujourd’hui octogénaire, il est devenu le centre d’une scène musicale underground. Depuis une vingtaine d’années, il accueille dans son sous-sol de jeunes musiciens montréalais dans des sessions dont le meilleur se retrouve sur Internet sous le titre From the Basement. Ces expériences pédagogiques, en quelque sorte, ont donné naissance à plusieurs projets musicaux, le plus important étant le HeArt Ensemble, avec le saxophoniste FÉLIX-ANTOINE HAMEL et de nombreux invités.

L’énergie des jeunes qui gravitent autour de lui a convaincu THOUIN de former un groupe ad hoc qui s’est produit sur une scène extérieure au centre-ville de Montréal en septembre 2022, à l’occasion de la projection de la version restaurée du film L’Infonie inachevée.

L’expérience fut si positive que THOUIN a officialisé le groupe en un alignement multigénérationnel de dix musiciens qu’il a baptisé L’ENSEMBLE INFINI. Un jazz actuel aux compositions dynamiques qui laissent place à une bonne dose d’improvisation.

A founding member of the Quatuor du jazz libre du Québec, a member of L’Infonie, a musician with L’Osstidcho — GUY THOUIN is a living legend of Quebecois free jazz and counterculture. And, in his eighties, he has become the beating heart of an underground music scene. For the past twenty years, THOUIN has been welcoming young musicians into his home for jam sessions, the best of which can be found on the Internet under the title From the Basement. Several projects have emerged from these educational experiences, the most meaningful one being the HeArt Ensemble with sax player FÉLIX-ANTOINE HAMEL and several guests.

The dynamism of the youngsters that revolve around him convinced THOUIN to put together an ad hoc band for an outdoor performance in downtown Montreal, in September 2022, presented alongside a public viewing of a restored version of the film L’Infonie inachevée.

The reception was so enthusiastic that THOUIN officialized the group into a multigenerational ten-piece called L’ENSEMBLE INFINI and is now working on new dynamic avant-jazz pieces that leave room for a healthy dose of improvisation.
