To celebrate our 2 years of existence I did « compose » a session instead of improvising, and I must confess being quite ecstatic during the 8 months it took to complete it.

Ecstasy designates a state in which the individual feels himself to be “transported outside of himself” characterized by rapture, vision, or extreme joy which hopefully may lead to drifting… Dérive !

You see in my early 20s I decided to go against anything chauvinistic or nationalistic and consider myself as a « Citizen of the World » rather than a Frenchman… Feeling close to the US term ‘drifter’ referring to a vagrant who refuses the solid bourgeois values of work, family and nation. Drifting apart from the kapital, the law of value, choosing to marginalize and stay Independent which became possible thanx to my passion and involvement in music, a « derive » which has never disappointed as I hope to always question myself, keep repositioning and throughout this session I would like to invite you to follow the idea of drift as a privileged practice of opening up to the new, the one defined by Guy Debord:

« Among the various Situationist procedures, the drift is defined as a technique of hasty passage through various atmospheres. The concept of drift is indissolubly linked to the recognition of effects of a psycho-geographical nature, each action changing the behavior of individuals and reinforcing the affirmation of a playful-constructive behavior, which opposes it in all points to classical notions of travel and promenade ».

Following the spirit of situationist irreverence and creativity I hope to stimulate a dérive towards a pleasant listen…
