Instant compositions by all musicians,
recorded and mixed by Jean-Jacques Birgé
at Studio GRRR, Bagnolet (2021-2023).
The idea is to play in order to get to know each other, rather than the other way around, as is usually the case. The theme for each game is chosen at random just before play begins.
Warm thanks to all the musicians who accepted my invitation and shared in this joyful complicity, to rediscover the innocence of our first steps, to mcgayffier for her book Tout abus sera puni, to Brian Eno and Peter Schmidt for the Oblique Strategies game, to Étienne Mineur for his invaluable help.
