CHASSOL CONCERT

Composer and pianist Chassol presents select works taken from his Ultrascores creations, musical journeys to many lands: the United States with “The Troup (Nola Chérie),” India with “Indiamore,” Martinique with “Big Sun” and Japan with his latest work, “Ludi,” heavily inspired by Hermann Hesse’s novel The Glass Bead Game. Accompanied by his drummer, he also performs his new piece, “Chassol plays Basquiat.”

Something takes place in Jean-Michel Basquiat’s painting that you also experience in Christophe Chassol’s music. This is most obvious when comparing their compositions: on canvas for the former, on sheet music for the latter. Because they both have a way of cutting, superimposing, sampling, composing over samples of their previous creations that creatively unites them. They create a backdrop and compose upon it with techniques all their own. In parallel with the Basquiat Soundtracks exhibition at the Philharmonie de Paris, Chassol presents a singular composition with the painter as theme: “I’m Not a Real Person” reframes Basquiat’s words by using his punchlines as mantras. Here, in collaboration with prodigy producer Phazz (Orelsan, Oxmo Puccino, SCH, Lyonzon and many others), Chassol opens his music to sounds with more of a rhythm-and-blues vibe.
