Description

Seen from the outside

Ensemble(s) is the eighth release of Fafchampscomposer, it is in a sense a kind of compilationof unreleased or rare pieces covering nearly threedecades.Five essential pieces that count in the evolution ofthe composer's writing. Post-spectral works thatdefinitively position Fafchamps as one of the important European composers. And it also weaves subtle links between him and Jean-Paul Dessy, him and Musiques Nouvelles, once created by Henri Pousseur.This disc is undoubtedly the best introductionto his work.

Performed by Musiques NouvellesConducted by Jean-Paul Dessy

Seen from insideAt the instigation of Jean-Paul Dessy, the Musiques Nouvelles ensemble initiated all sorts of configurationsto which I was often associated, and glad to be.This album is the journal of these criss-crossing collaborations: sometimes as part of the ECO(European Contemporary Orchestra) project,through which Musiques Nouvelles met theEnsemble Télémaque (from France) and Orkestde ereprijs (from the Netherlands) in a largeorchestral formation; sometimes for a projectproduced with Art Zoyd (France); sometimesas a string ensemble or with Claire Bourdet asa soloist. I am glad to present, united in one album,such different periods, contrasting collaborationsand multiple encounters not merely due tocoincidence but also to affinities. May my style,and the story of my questionings, give a certainconsistency to this ensemble of beautiful collaborations.Jean-Luc Fachamps
