PILAR ASAP: Dorian Dumont + Mirek Coutigny

Description


*** Nederlands ***

Een van de muzikanten die Aphex Twin op handen draagt, is Dorian Dumont. De in Montpellier opgegroeide, klassiek gevormde pianist kwam veertien jaar geleden jazz en vrije improvisatie studeren in Brussel en raakte hier nooit meer weg. Ondertussen is hij diep verankerd in de Brusselse muziekscene. Zo is hij een van de spilfiguren van de elektrojazzers van ECHT!, vormt hij samen met Hendrik Lasure en Benjamin Sauzereau het trio Easy Pieces en werkt hij onder meer samen met het r&b-duo Juicy. ‘APHEXionS’ is zijn autonome werk, waarin jazz en minimalisme hoogtij vieren en waarin Dumont een ode brengt aan de Britse maestro Aphex Twin. Bij zijn interpretaties schildert hij met de kleur van moderne klassiek en de vrije structuur van de jazz.


*** English ***

On "APHEXions", the Brussels pianist with French roots Dorian Dumont – key member of the electro jazz band ECHT! – is expressing his love for one of his greatest musical heroes: Aphex Twin. Contrary to what one would expect, there are no electronics involved in this album, but he carefully transcribes a wide selection of Richard David James' music to grand piano, giving the songs a whole new dimension. Rave classics like Polynomial-C and Xtal are being stripped to the core while on tracks like Nannou, Kesson Daslef or Fingerbibb he stays truthful to the minimalistic aesthetics from the original tracks. As an accomplished jazz pianist, he improvises on the various themes and injects it with a tinge of blues here and there. As a result, this homage record captures both the simple beauty and the unruly complexity of Aphex Twin. But above all, it sounds like refreshing new music that immediately puts Dorian Dumont on the map as a solo pianist.
