SONGS FROM THE BASEMENT / PREMIERE @ Peniche Lapin Vert, Joinville Nov 9th 2024 / Info @ wwwmusic4bridges.org

These songs were not supposed to leave the basement.
They existed only for the pleasure of music,
and for the pleasure of music.

For a year, songs were invented under the boots
by a few musicians dreaming of anonymity
in the basement of a house in Woodstock

With
Lelia Montanari, vocals, guitar, hurdy-gurdy
Jonathan Pontier, vocals, guitar, piano, banjo, conception
Denis Rézard, backing vocals, double bass, guitar
Jérémie Pontier, backing vocals, piano, accordion, percussion

Crash On the Levee (Before the Flood - 2024 New Basement Demo)

Une brève histoire de l’histoire de l’humanité
Musique Jonathan Pontier
Chorégraphie 2014 Véronique Campion

D’un big-bang explosion première, au point de non-retour explosion dernière,
Notre Histoire conte en sons et en corps plusieurs des cycles de l’évolution de l’espèce humaine animale.
Le cri primal, les premiers temps, la construction de l’espèce et de la civilisation,
de la pierre au fer, de la lenteur à l’accélération du réel…jusqu’à la chute.

___________________

Le Tombeau de P.P.Pasolini was composed 
between 2014 and 2023. 
Le Tombeau de P.P.Pasolini was composed 
in three pieces for ensemble and electronics, 
three independent volumes. 

This cycle was initiated in 2014 with the 
commission of the first Vol (Vol I) by 
Brussels based Ictus ensemble, for a show 
focusing on the Ars subtilior. 

On a late afternoon in March (2022), 
accompanied by loved ones, we went to Ostia, 
to the place of the tragic end, the one 
that says everything, without saying anything, 
at the place where today stands a 
kind of stele/tombeau in memory of the 
immense visionary poet.  

As a result, Vol II and III were composed between 
September 2022 and March 2023, and premiered 
on May 2025.
These two volumes were written for an identical 
formation to the first one : 7 or 8 musicians 
and electronics.

TOMBEAU de PASOLINI Vol III - PREMIERE - Nemø ensemble & Kevin Hendrickx (May 2025)

le monde d’avant était ouvert aux quatre vents 
puis une nuit tout s’est tu
les rues se sont vidées
le monde s’est aplati

on a barricadé l’humanité
elle y a consenti
s’est prémunie
de tout ce qui nous liait

on a décidé que ce serait mieux comme ça
on se faisait coucou par la fenêtre en plastique
on entendrait nos voix verrait nos faces 
grâce à l’algorithme

mais il faudrait rebâtir les ponts
les quatre ponts cardinaux
avec les mots avec les sons
refaire du beau

il faudrait refaire ça
toutes les connections
pixeliser les notes
ré enchanter le flux

relier l’est au sud
le nord à l’ouest
toutes amplitudes dehors
toutes musiques du cru

par quatre ponts
par le pont harmonie

et les trois autres dont j’ai oublié le nom

enfin

des musiques par les sons
des musiques pour les ponts

des musiques par les sons
des musiques pour les ponts
