Rather than being improvised, like the legendary show at the Zénith, these experimental tracks have a more composed instrumental form and were conceived for choreographers: mainly Pérélandra, staged with dancers from Carolyn Carlson's troupe, but also Nomade, some of the sonic environment of which can be discovered here in (superb) bits and pieces found on cassettes.
If we believe the musician improvising, rather than following the cult playlist of Maison Rose, was what saved them.Ĭreated from previously unpublished recordings from 1978, 19, Pérélandra is a wonderful array of the experiments so unique to Emmanuelle Parrenin. Didier Malherbe responded with a saxophone improvisation with all the others joining in behind. It was some line up, even for the most open-minded: Emmanuelle Parrenin and her musicians, in 1981, opening for the Clash in Paris, at the Zénith! Unsurprisingly, the crowd roared the name of the English band as soon as the French musicians appeared on stage.
