BENOÎT DELBECQ
OTIS SANDSJÖ, PETTER ELDH, SAMUEL BER, TAYLOR HO BYNUM, SARAH MURCIA
Pierre Boulez Saal
“Striated time” and “smooth time”—temps strié and temps lisse—are expressions Pierre Boulez used to describe somic momentum. French pianist Benoît Delbecq has long adopted this idea in his own artistic thinking. Leading two newly assembled international bands consisting of three generations of musicians, he now presents the world premiere of new works inspired by the special acoustics of the Pierre Boulez Saal (where Delbecq previously performed in 2019). For the first set, he is joined by American cornetist Taylor Ho Bynum and French bassist Sarah Murcia. The concert’s second half is dedicated to a quartet featuring Delbecq with saxophonist Otis Sandsjö and bassist Petter Eldh (both Swedes based in Berlin) as well as Belgian drummer Samuel Ber.

Immerse yourself in the intimacy of the recording of Benoît Delbecq’s latest album, and see firsthand how the celebrated artist works behind the scenes. Excerpts from two interviews are grafted onto these privileged moments, one at his home in Bondy, the other in his working studio in Paris, interviews that shed light on the genesis of his compositions, on what drives him, on his artist story.
