PHILIPPE MATà / DANIEL VALLANCIEN, Daniel Vallancien / Philippe Maté, SouffleContinu Records
Certes discrĂšte, la carriĂšre du saxophoniste Philippe MatĂ© n'en aligne pas moins les disques indispensables : que ce soit avec l'Acting Trio, Jean GuĂ©rin (Tacet) ou Jef Gilson (Workshop), sans compter ses collaborations en grand orchestre et en quartette avec Lawrence âButchâ Morris, ou sa prĂ©sence dans le Quatuor de Saxophones et sur le gĂ©nial L'Enfant assassin des mouches de Jean-Claude Vannier.
Quant Ă l'homme de l'ombre Daniel Vallancien, ingĂ©nieur du son peu habituĂ© Ă ĂȘtre mis en avant sur les pochettes, la collection Actuel du label BYG lui doit Ă©normĂ©ment (il est aux manettes derriĂšre Anthony Braxton, Don Cherry, Sonny Sharrock ou Steve Lacy), tout comme Saravah pour le compte duquel il a notamment enregistrĂ© Areski, Brigitte Fontaine, Maurice LemaĂźtre ou Cohelmec Ensemble : excusez du peu ! Qui plus est, Daniel Vallancien appartient Ă cette prestigieuse lignĂ©e d'ingĂ©nieurs du son français aux oreilles ouvertes et souvent eux-mĂȘmes musiciens, mĂȘme si parfois uniquement de maniĂšre occasionnelle : citons Bruno Menny, Daniel Deshays ou Jean-Marc Foussat, qui tous ont eux aussi gravĂ© sous leur nom des opus remarquables.
Sous-tendant cette collaboration, l'idĂ©e Ă©tait d'accoucher d'une musique libre, directe et spontanĂ©e, bien qu'un minimum rĂ©flĂ©chie. Une musique, selon les brĂšves notes de pochette, voulue âdĂ©tachĂ©e des longues et patientes gestations de laboratoireâ. Ici, donc : aucun outillage sophistiquĂ© propre aux recherches Ă©lectroacoustiques, mais principalement une console, qui dans les mains de Daniel Vallancien agit sur la matiĂšre sonore instrumentale originale en direct, et la modifie ou dĂ©multiplie tout en respectant son jaillissement naturel.
Qu'il s'agisse de Paul MĂ©fano, Betsy Jolas, GĂ©rard Grisey ou Jacques Lejeune, de nombreux compositeurs contemporains ayant oeuvrĂ© en France ont, Ă un moment ou un autre, intĂ©grĂ© le saxophone Ă leur travail. Par exemple, Michel Redolfi, du GRIM puis du CIRM, a expĂ©rimentĂ© avec le saxophoniste AndrĂ© Jaume le temps d'un disque convaincant (Hardscore). Pourtant, rien ne peut ĂȘtre comparĂ© Ă la singularitĂ© du dialogue entre Philippe MatĂ© et Daniel Vallacien, dĂ©crit par eux-mĂȘmes comme tour Ă tour âsĂ©rieux, sarcastique ou humoristiqueâ, avec çà et lĂ des âsonoritĂ©s angoissantesâ. Sauf que les mots, y compris ceux choisis par les protagonistes de cet album, ne sauraient suffire Ă dĂ©crire pareil objet sonore, aussi difficilement identifiable, et, pour tout dire : sidĂ©rant.
â
Although discrete, the career of saxophonist Philippe MatĂ© includes nonetheless several indispensable albums: be it with the Acting Trio, Jean GuĂ©rin (Tacet) or Jef Gilson (Workshop), his collaborations in a big band or quartet with Lawrence âButchâ Morris, his presence in the Saxophone Quartetand also on the brilliant L'Enfant assassin des mouches by Jean-Claude Vannier.
As for the man in the background, Daniel Vallancien, a sound engineer rarely featuring on the sleeves, the collection Actuel on the BYG label owes much to him (he is at the controls behind Anthony Braxton, Don Cherry, Sonny Sharrock or Steve Lacy), the same goes for Saravah for who he notably recorded Areski, Brigitte Fontaine, Maurice LemaĂźtre or the Cohelmec Ensemble: not bad for starters! What is more, Daniel Vallancien is one of a prestigious group of French recording engineers with open ears and often themselves musicians, even if only occasionally for some, including Bruno Menny, Daniel Deshays or Jean-Marc Foussat, who have all recorded remarkable albums as leaders.
Behind this collaboration was the idea ofcreating music which was free, direct and spontaneous, while having also a minimum of advance planning. Music, according to the brief liner notes desirous to âremove itself from long and patient laboratory experiments â. So, there can be found here none of the sophisticated tools associated withelectroacoustic research, but mainly a recording mixer console, which, in the hands of Daniel Vallancien acts directly on the original instrumental sound in real time, modifying and multiplying it while respecting the natural flow.
Be it Paul MĂ©fano, Betsy Jolas, GĂ©rard Grisey or Jacques Lejeune, many contemporary composers working in France have, at one time or another, includedthe saxophone in their work. Michel Redolfi, for example, with the GRIM and then the CIRM , experimented with saxophonist AndrĂ© Jaume on a convincing recording (Hardscore). Nothing, however, can compare to the singularity of the dialogue between Philippe MatĂ© and Daniel Vallancien, which they themselves describe as being âserious, sarcastic orhumorousâ, with, here and there, âdisturbing soundsâ. Words, however, even those used by the protagonists themselves, are insufficient to describe such a sonic object, difficult to identify and, it has to be said, extraordinary.
