Taking advantage of my
always stay in Paris, after coffee concert dance with Stranded Horse , I went to one of those famous evenings of Blogothèque . The principle was the next appointment in a street in the 9th arrondissement, to arrive with food and drink and attend the screening of Vincent Moon "An Island" in the presence of some members of the group Efterklang.
So after a coffee in the company of quite charming Damien Mingus to My Jazzy Child and Centennial, I'm part clopant limping toward the place of the above-said indie hot date. The place: a kind of former garage / barn converted into what must certainly be an artist studio and workshop handyman and / or small business, brick walls, wooden floor, the place does not lack charm, but a formidable test ahead : This is absolutely not heated and it has to do something like 5 ° outside. Believe me if it was possible to die of the feet, I would have lived this night of love for art among the Parisian air currents.
Afterwards, if you want to know in every detail how it works: the charming hostess checks your name on the list, you give what you want for the coming concert, you clothe for girls in mini skirt and little boots, parka for boys and / or marinara. And there, right away, obviously you first is obvious: YES indie indie boy and girl are totally impervious to outside temperature. Then you sit on the floor in the middle of a good sixty people and you expect the film by Vincent Moon after Chryde, blogothéqueur Chief presented the evening of Rasmus Efterklang said a few kind words in Danish.
Casper the evening by Blogothèque anousonne |
The film "An Island ", if I understood everything, was funded in co-production by Vincent Moon Efterklang and we follow step by step, and in music, their Danish island group members Efterklang. They show their inspiration, forests, farms, machinery ... Then lead us to the scene of their childhood and adolescence, see their families ... The film is not unlike what Moon has been done to Blogothèque, camera movement, light, very neat, close-ups on faces and objects, beginning in the forest is not without mention that the film Last Days by Gus Van Sant. Well I can not tell you much more, I am a quiche stuff of cinema, but the applause was spontaneous and many of the film's end.
The surprise of the evening came next with a mini concert pocket given by members of Efterklang . And there I saw what could truly be an evening Blogothèque, ambience at once amused, relaxed, musical, really nice. It must be said that Great Danes are probably also a little something to do, playing into the audience, bringing in the audience among musicians, and asking even a song that the audience interprets a song for them, singing and instruments included. Gradually, we forget the cold, aching feet and discomfort to indulge in this warm, Casper the singer launched into rhythmic improvisations while a girl recites a mouse green bottles of wine and beer flowing in the wings and in the midst of all this, Chryde like a kid in a toy store. And it is only to let the neighbors sleep a bit as the evening ends with a dedication to the nice lady Efterklang that pointed people to the reception.
Then I would be lying if I told you that Efterklang is exactly the kind of music I like, but, that's what you probably recognize the talent, I really finished by letting me take their music, their kindness and the gentle craziness of the evening Blogothèque.
