NST 1.5 est le premier single de l’album DOOBLE à paraître le 10 novembre 2023. Le duo, formé par le saxophoniste et clarinettiste Sylvain Rifflet et le compositeur électronique Philippe Gordiani, propose une musique composite singulière qui allie les influences du jazz, de l’electro et de la musique répétitive. INST 1.5 est un véritable trip chamanique de presque 7 minutes qui convoque la folie du saxophoniste canadien Colin Stetson et les machines implacables d’Arnaud Rebotini. Dans la playlist d’Attila le Hun, INST 1.5 est la bande-son idéale de l’Apocalypse, loin des codes d’un electro-jazz convenu.

Rebellion(s) is a brand new project of two outstanding reed-players – Sylvain Rifflet from France and Jon Irabagon from the US. Their program is inspired by those revolts, rebellions, revolutions and freedom-fights which marked the path of both nations leading to democracy – from a musical point of view.

In Troubadours the idea was not to be in historical accuracy, but rather in an imaginary ambition of what could be today a poetic music carried by a very simple instrumentation: two wind instruments, a drone and some percussions. Sylvain Rifflet was inspired by recordings of secular medieval music pieces (often by unknown author). I never made a modal record and I wanted to try this adventure while making sure to stay as far away as possible from the saxophonist clichés who embarked on modal music. In this case the reference to Coltrane is quite complex to avoid. Turning to a hybrid sound: modal music and Indian drones, I had wider and more interesting musical possibilities for this project.

This album explores the experience of foreigners in France. I see myself as belonging to a long genealogy of American artists who moved to Paris to escape the USA, a country that does not support its creators. Unlike my illustrious predecessors, I arrived in France during a pandemic that paralyzed the Parisian artistic scene. Paradoxically, the cancellation of live performances made it easier for me to collaborate with Parisian musicians and focus on composing. Rooted in the values and approaches of jazz, this album offers a musical view of Paris in the Covid-19 era. The ensemble’s direction, concept, and instrumentation is electronic and contemporary, using musical languages outside of the jazz tradition. Notably it mobilizes concepts from South Indian Carnatic music and North Africa. If French jazz musicians tend to mystify the New York and American music scene, having made the reverse journey, my music celebrates the mixing of culture that makes Paris a musical center.

French saxophonist and composer Sylvain Rifflet has his finger firmly set on the pulse of modern times. Working with his group Alphabet, he has masterminded an innovative and spell-binding brand of music in which the modernity of his jazz sound combines with the world of New York minimalism. Poets and writers of the late nineteenth century and early twentieth century often described the then-nascent ”industrial world” and its machines as ”enemies of art.” However some did not see progress as dehumanizing. Science fiction imagined a futuristic world, which inspired artists and writers such as Jules Verne and HG Wells. Rifflet’s album Mechanics, with a cover illustration by Belgian comic book artist Francois Schuiten, journeys through forward looking and fantastical worlds.
