about

I thank Jürg Frey for putting me in touch with the musical group Wandelweiser. This allowed me to discover their music outside of time.
Later, listening to Melaine Dalibert's magnificent album dedicated to the music of Philippakopoulos, the music of this Greek composer imposed itself on me.
Philippakopoulos' music consists of long ranges of silences interspersed with musical breaths. The listener may be taken aback by the apparent starkness of this music. But for the more adventurous among you who will try the experiment, the music of Philippakopoulos will become the perfect medium to refocus you, where each note is like a musical ether: an evidence.
Yes, Less is more…

-------[VERSION FRANCAISE]------

Je remercie Jürg Frey de m'avoir mis en relation avec le groupe musical Wandelweiser. Cela m'a permis de découvrir leurs musiques en dehors du temps.
Plus tard, à l'écoute du magnifique album de Melaine Dalibert dédié à la musique de Philippakopoulos, la musique de ce compositeur grec s'est imposée à moi.
La musique de Philippakopoulos est constituée de longues plages de silences entrecoupées de respirations musicales. L’auditeur peut-être pris de court par le dépouillement apparent de cette musique. Mais pour les plus aventureux d'entre vous qui tenteront l'expérience, la musique de Philippakopoulos deviendra le parfait médium pour vous recentrer, ou chaque note est tel un éther musical : une évidence.
Oui, Less is more …
