Brique „La danse du béton“
France, Netherlands
Bianca Iannuzzi - voice
Eve Risser - piano, flute
Luc Ex - bass
Francesco Pastacaldi – drums
For Eve Risser, sound is like bathtub full of water into which she loves to immerse herself. The more there is, the deeper she dives. This seems to be, in fact, the general approach of the 44-year-old multi-instrumentalist from Paris as she continually leaps from one ideal to the next—moving from the duo Donkey Monkey to her Orchestras of the White and Red Deserts, via prepared piano projects, Barbie-guitar concerts, or the Paris branch of the label and festival "Umlaut." Take, for instance, the quartet Brique, in which four improvisers—long-time collaborators—play with construction and deconstruction like "a post-punk Russian doll toying with the codes of song format." The vocals of "telluric improviser" Bianca Iannuzzi—sometimes in French, often in English, and usually exuberant—transform this "shameless fusion of multiple influences" into a delightfully disorienting variety show. If concrete could dance, it would do so to this music.
