If you love meaningful instrumental music that both upsets your listening habits and gives you goosebumps, you absolutely must hear them at least once. And that\u2019s just as well, because from December 11 to 13, you\u2019ll have free access to their latest adventure, a film-concert called <em>Rituaels<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a prelude to the premiere of <em>Rituaels<\/em>, broadcast on the group\u2019s website and on Facebook starting at 8 pm on December 11, I spoke with their leader, double bassist Thibault Bertin-Maghit, who explained that the idea for <em>Rituaels<\/em> came from a \u201cnormal\u201d concert that was to be given on May 2. Pandemic and associated restrictions forced the concert to become a larger project, involving a dancer and creative video to accompany the music. In the end, <em>Rituaels<\/em> quickly became a kind of big, one-hour music video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOnce we knew that <em>Rituaels<\/em> could only be digital, at least in the near future,\u201d says Bertin-Maghit, \u201cwe decided that we should fully engage with this form of broadcasting and use all the advantages it offers us. We wondered how we could keep the audience\u2019s attention for 60 minutes. A filmed concert involves a few camera shots, but at a certain point, when you\u2019ve seen the same shots four or five times, it becomes boring. So we added shots with dancer Stacey D\u00e9silier as well as video creations by Benoit Fry and Lucas Harrison Rupnik.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-vimeo wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-vimeo wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"collectif9 - Rituels\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/363011317?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The result, which I had the chance to watch before the first broadcast, is very beautiful. It alternates simple but beautifully staged shots of the musicians in Montreal\u2019s Saint-Pierre-Ap\u00f4tre church with the stylized movements of D\u00e9silier, soberly clad in white.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But no matter how neatly shot, the visuals serve primarily to support one thing: the music. And what music! Mostly modern and contemporary, in the tradition of mystical contemplative minimalism, or, if not, one that \u201cfades\u201d perfectly with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSince we initially wanted to play in a church, a very reverberant space,\u201d Bertin-Maghit continues, \u201cwe decided to fully dive into this choice. Musicians often \u2018make do\u2019 with reverberation, fighting to avoid letting it dominate everything. For our part, we have chosen rooms that not only work perfectly in this kind of acoustics, but that even come out of it bigger.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bigger, yes, I would say so. Arvo P\u00e4rt could only sound good in this, as one would expect, but the neo-ancient colours of Tippett\u2019s homage to Purcell succeed just as well. I also note the delicate and poetic extravagances of Nicole Liz\u00e9e, and the furious and uplifting energy of Bryce Dessner\u2019s <em>Aheym<\/em> (a rare non-contemplative piece in the programme). There is even the medieval mystic Hildegarde de Bingen, who launches the show in a bewitching way with <em>O vis \u00e6ternitatis<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Film-concert Rituels\/Lev\u00e9e de fonds 2020-21\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/w6CfK4M2dto?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The rich, warm, long-lasting harmonies, the long sustained notes and the early musical resonances of most of the works on the programme create a sensory landscape that evokes timelessness, duration, the non ephemeral, the signifier and, finally, the real, the important. It\u2019s a horizontal music, which forces us to get out of the verticality of the instant and immediacy \u2013 anti-commercialism at its best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The staging of the musicians, already planned for the concert, is well treated in terms of camera shots. The musicians change position after each piece, in a calm choreography. Surrounded by a few white curtains suspended, and lit from a few discreet sources, the resulting subdued look evokes, yes, a kind of ritual in which everyone can see what they want: religious inspiration, ancestral pagan evocations, secular and profane spirituality, transcendence of Art and Beauty. In the end, it doesn\u2019t matter: whoever participates will be touched and perhaps even transformed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After the broadcast of the 11th, the concert will be available free of charge for a further 48 hours. Having said that, will it be possible to experience this sublime music in a \u201cface-to-face\u201d setting, as they say now?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;We would love to take this concept on tour,\u201d Bertin-Maghitto replies, \u201ctake it on the road, so that the audience can experience the powerful experience of this music with us, at the same time and in the same place. But for now, I invite everyone who will be watching to settle down and take the time to get into the rhythm of the music. I hope it will bring well-being and comfort.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Collectif9 has a mandate to reinvent the way people listen, see and participate in classical music concerts. To play music of (not just) today that speaks to a (not just) young audience, to invest in unusual venues (bars, discos, warehouses, etc.). Not only do they succeed, but they open up new avenues. I wouldn\u2019t be too surprised to see them one day collaborating with Montreal indie cult groups. Imagine a creation involving, oh, I don\u2019t know, Godspeed You! Black Emperor? Anyway, Thibault says he\u2019d love that. Who knows? The message is out!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/panm360.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/collectif9-entrevue.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-34580\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The very cool ensemble Collectif9 proposes Rituaels, a musical-video journey with almost mystical echoes and hints of&#8230; a beneficial ritual in these troubled times.
