Shortly after discovering improvised music, Frantz Loriot became drawn to its political dimension. Influenced by anarchist, anti-capitalist and postcolonial thought, he developed his own approach to musical improvisation — leading him to interview musician Bertrand Denzler on topics including the non-idiomatic, ‘real time’, freedom, equality, and institutions.
Musique improvisée et questions politiques (Bruit Editions) explores the complexity of creativity and the relationship between creators and audiences, with awareness of the creative act at its core.
Bertrand Denzler on « Double Solo »: We both play a solo, but at the same time: two simultaneous solos in the same space. Are we capable of not listening to each other, of not caring about each other or the result, of living together without communicating, of creating a disparate whole? We will not prove anything. Because we know each other, we trust each other and we cheat. But this experience should allow us to produce music we could not have imagined otherwise.
