Alexandre Desilets - November 25, 2010 - Cabaret Juste pour rire
Thursday night was the first Montreal Alexandre Desilets, an artist I admire enormously for several years now, and I had the opportunity to see them in concert repeatedly.
Thursday night was the first Montreal Alexandre Desilets, an artist I admire enormously for several years now, and I had the opportunity to see them in concert repeatedly.
A month ago, the musician gave us his latest album, custody , I put a little time to tame it is so different from his first Climbing intoxication, which to me borders on masterpiece.
custody, to quote a comment heard repeatedly, lies somewhere between the first album, alternating air and hope, and a side decidedly more pop and more mainstream, but not quite, the fact that it touches neither the one nor the other, not getting quite the fan of the first album and does not reach quite the pop standards which will turn on the radio for example.
The show started with in the first part, David Martel, suddenly of heart English (despite its French name) Alexander Desilets, who got knocked off course by his vocal resemblance with Damien Rice (same theatrics, similar increases in songs, same kind of female vocalist, and presence of a cello) and which I liked for the same reason.
Then the group arrived Alexandre Desilets, revised and enlarged for the occasion, with the presence of Liu Kong Ha percussion (Random Recipe Group) and Marianne Houle cello (group Monogrenade) that accompanied several songs on the other regular members of the group, Steve Caron on drums, Jerome Hebert and Daniel Bailey on guitars, and Francis Lessard on bass, giving the whole a good musical power.
Alexandre Desilets has chained the songs from her latest album and again, the evidence struck me: this album contains fewer subtleties in rhythm and it seemed sometimes hear the same songs. Some melodies are catchy, accessible songs that the first album maybe, but I have not had the sensation of thrill that can get songs like Apollo Mission I fail or , the group has also offered in the show.
We also heard two songs that are not on the two albums by Alexander Desilets: Where the wind takes us (which exists in single ) and Spitting in the water.
was very complete, although I would have liked more songs from the first album (desire illusory since I am aware that it was a comeback for the second album!) Finally, you'll understand I think ...
Alexandre Desilets was visibly moved (presence of family and friends) and gave us a generous provision, concluded with an acoustic performance into the audience, accompanied by Jérôme Hébert acoustic guitar.
In short, the articles that were written in various media, including the article Rue Frontenac express quite well the small imperfections that I felt (order of songs among others). I invite you to read (link below). That said, everyone agrees - and my first - Alexandre Desilets is a must onstage, in perfect agreement with its musicians, constantly exploring art as evidenced by its various productions, and Research also serious and creative collaborations, particularly with regard to the lighting (Mathieu Roy, who has collaborated with Karkwa among others). It is also recognized for having greatly improved his game scene, from a rather timid at a very personal gesture and a way to move quite fascinating and beautiful to behold. Moreover, it seemed that the stage was too small for him Thursday night!
For the record, having been allowed to take pictures that night, I was very upset and I had a very rewarding experience. How lucky to have had this for a live concert like this one! I offer So this article with an original photo.
