Stick Men au Club Soda avec des membres de King Crimson

by Rédaction PAN M 360

METTANT EN VEDETTE LES MEMBRES DE KING CRIMSON :

TONY LEVIN ET PAT MASTELOTTO

ET LE GUITARISTE INNOVATEUR MARKUS REUTER

Stick Men est un groupe pas comme les autres. Certes, c’est une description galvaudée, mais c’est la seule façon de décrire correctement le groupe. Sur fond de paysages sonores percussifs électroacoustiques complexes composés par le batteur Pat Mastelotto (Mr. Mister, King Crimson, The Rembrandts, XTC, Martin Briley et plusieurs centaines d’autres), leurs constructions mélodiques sont construites uniquement à l’aide d’instruments de la famille du tapping. L’exécution magistrale, vertueuse et magnifique des bassistes de session les plus célèbres au monde, Tony Levin (Peter Gabriel, King Crimson, John Lennon, Paul Simon, Chuck Mangione, Lou Reed, David Bowie et plusieurs milliers d’autres, ainsi que leurs mères) et l’un des compositeurs et producteurs les plus créatifs des vingt dernières années, le psychologue, musicologue, concepteur d’instruments et multi-instrumentiste Markus Reuter (Centrozoon, Europe String Choir, This Fragile Moment et plus d’une centaine d’autres collaborations défiant les genres). Leur musique est virtuose et high-tech, mais spirituelle et organique. Profondément complexe, mais magnifiquement sensible. Abrasivement basculant, mais mélodiquement apaisante. C’est de la musique progressive et de la musique rock, mais ce n’est pas du Prog-Rock au sens dinosaure du genre. La somme est beaucoup, beaucoup plus grandes que les parties. Ils réalisent ce que peu d’autres groupes dans le domaine de l’art-rock réalisent dans cette ère post-moderne et post-vérité : Résonance. Sans cette résonance, cette capacité à créer une musique mémorable, je n’écrirais pas ces lignes.

RETURN TO MONTREAL

Stick Men is a band like no other. Admittedly, this is an overused description, but it is the only way to describe the band properly. Over the backdrop of intricate electroacoustic percussive soundscapes composed by drummer Pat Mastelotto (Mr. Mister, King Crimson, The Rembrandts, XTC, Martin Briley, and several hundred others), their melodic constructions are built only using instruments of the tapping family, masterfully, virtuously and beautifully executed by one of the most celebrated session bassists in the world, Tony Levin (Peter Gabriel, King Crimson, John Lennon, Paul Simon, Chuck Mangione, Lou Reed, David Bowie, and several thousand others, and their moms) and one of the most creative composers and producers of the past twenty years, psychologist, musicologist, instrument designer and multi-instrumentalist Markus Reuter (Centrozoon, Europa String Choir, This Fragile Moment, and a over a hundred other genre-defying collaborations). Their music is virtuosic and high-tech, yet spiritual and organic. Deeply complex, yet beautifully sensible. Abrasively rocking, yet soothingly melodic. It is progressive music, and it is rock music, but it is not Prog-Rock in the dinosauric sense of the genre. The sum is much, much larger than the parts. They achieve what few other bands in the art-rock realm achieve in this post-modern, post-truth era: Resonance. Without that resonance, that ability to create memorable music, I wouldn’t be writing this essay

Gab Paquet au Club Soda

by Rédaction PAN M 360

On décrit Gab Paquet de multiples façons – « perfection faite homme » n’est qu’un exemple parmi tant d’autres – mais ce qu’il faut savoir, c’est que cet être de démesure sensuelle et d’exaltation spirituelle est avant tout un héraut envoûtant augmenté d’un don divin pour la musique, et que c’est dans la chanson française de variété qu’il trouve un véhicule pour ses messages essentiels – un sulfureux kitsch qui n’a rien d’un plaisir coupable.

Lary Kidd

by Alain Brunet

Two years after Contrôle, MC Lary Kidd released Surhomme, 12 pieces of his own with a plethora of bricolage beats concocted in concert with his buddies Ruffsound and Ajust. So life goes on, Lary Kidd continues his career without Loud, former teammate and close friend who has of course become a keb rap superstar. Less painful and tortured than the poetic material on Contrôle, Surhomme is stuffed with double entendres and metaphorical punch. His thoughts and observations are gathered from the trials and tribulations of everyday life. The trivialization of his own misery has made him stronger, more resistant, even almost unfeeling… hence the choice of the word “superman”. Will he fly over the Club Soda stage?

Tizzo • Shreez • Soft

by Alain Brunet

Like the 51tr4p Fr4p50 mixtape, Tizzo’s song “On fouette” was released in the spring of 2018, and won a SOCAN award in June 2019. The expression on fouette, by the way, magnifies the ambitions of Tizzo and his Afro-Montreal buddies, who didn’t have it easy before making a name for themselves in local hip hop. All involved in the crafting of this authentic jam, Tizzo (Teddy Laguerre), Shreez (Shawn Volcy), Soft (Marc Casseus) and 4590’z (Vladimir Methelus) were joint winners of the SOCAN prize. The fast and assured ascent of Tizzo and his gang has just begun, and the next step is scheduled to take place at Club Soda, as part of the Run It Fest event. Tizzo, Shreez and Soft will be on stage, along with other colleagues from the keb rap community — Kay Bandz, Soubillz, TK, Mike Shabb, Kevin Na$h, and DJ Crowd.
