Un pied dans la musique électronique, l’autre dans le jazz et l’afrobeat, le musicien hors pair traverse la Manche en quartet pour un concert exceptionnel au Théâtre de Cornouaille. Cet as de la batterie n’est pas seulement un compagnon de route talentueux, il est aussi un producteur remarquable. Architecte surdoué des productions de cette nouvelle scène londonienne bouillonnante, il partage la scène avec le groupe Sons Of Kemet, joue en duo avec Binker Golding, se retrouve aux côtés de Beyoncé sur la bande originale du Roi Lion ou à la production de l’album de son ami tubiste Theon Cross (passé par le Théâtre de Cornouaille la saison dernière). Sur son premier album, sorti en février, Dark Matter, Moses Boyd expose clairement ses deux sources d’inspiration : le jazz, métissé de musiques venues d’Afrique du Sud, et des sonorités électroniques. Dans une impressionnante suite de mouvements, tantôt sombres, tantôt rêveurs, Moses Boyd voyage entre les genres, les lieux et les époques. Énergie brute du grime, swing de La Nouvelle‐ Orléans, rythmes afrobeat, boucles électro vibrantes… Porté par cet état d’esprit très ouvert, le batteur leader combine sa folle créativité à l’esprit collaboratif de ses musiciens. Un rendez‐vous immanquable ! Théâtre de Cornouaille | Saison 2020‐2021 Distribution / mentions Batterie Moses Boyd (distribution en cours) ‐ www.mosesboyd.co.uk Théâtre de Cornouaille | Saison 2020‐2021 Moses Boyd Batterie Moses Boyd fait partie de ses rares artistes, chef de bande, qui mène son monde à la baguette. Batteur londonien, également producteur et compositeur, il baigne dans les influences jamaïcaines, par sa mère, dominicaines, par son père, mâtinées de Tony Allen, par goût personnel. Aujourd’hui, il navigue du nu‐jazz‐nu (jazz et musique électronique) au jazz fusion et revendique appartenir à la lignée afrobeat, reggae and soca. Figure de la scène indépendante londonienne, Moses Boyd a collaboré à divers projets musicaux, notamment Arise de Zara McFarlane, et The Lion King : The Gift, dirigé par Beyoncé. En 2014, il fonde avec le saxophoniste Binker Golding le duo Binker & Moses qui sortira trois albums. Ses propres compositions ont été utilisées dans le domaine de la mode par la Fondation Louis Vuitton ou le MoMa. En octobre 2019, Moses Boyd sortait son single Stranger than Fiction. Théâtre de Cornouaille | Saison 2020‐2021 La presse en parle Sur Dark Matter, le batteur et producteur londonien teinte son jazz de samples et d’électronique en compagnie d’invités issus de divers horizons musicaux. Amalgames haut de gamme ! Une cohérence se dégage malgré la diversité des univers abordés. Grime entre guillemets et rimes acérées, rythmiques sombres et éclaircies acoustiques, les tentations « électroniques » élaborées ici rappelleront d’heureux souvenirs aux amateurs de la première heure du label Ninja Tune. À la nuance près que Moses Boyd maîtrise tous les codes génériques du jazz, à commencer par la faculté d’en repousser les limites sans jamais se fourvoyer dans une mélasse esthétique de l’entre‐deux. C’est toute la force d’attraction de cette matière noire incernable et néanmoins essentielle, une galette tout à la fois borderline et en plein cœur des enjeux du jazz actuel, LIBÉRATION Dark Matter est ainsi un jalon pour Moses Boyd, un album de producteur de la part d’un jeune compositeur assemblant plusieurs fils différents pour créer un ornement musical nouveau : l’énergie brute du grime et de l’afrobeat, les rythmes effrénés du Londres underground, le tout combiné à la créativité et l’esprit collaboratif du groupe. Porté par cet état d’esprit très ouvert, il n’est pas surprenant que son talent ait attiré l’attention de nombreux autres milieux artistiques, le monde de la mode avant tout, le poussant à produire des morceaux originaux pour la collaboration entre la Fondation Louis Vuitton et le MoMa en 2017 et, plus récemment, pour un défilé de Men’s Dunhill à la Paris Fashion Week en 2018 et 2019.

  • Barbican Announces Alfa Mist Date for 4 Dec 2021 Final.Pdf
    JUST ANNOUNCED Alfa Mist Sat 4 Dec 2021, Barbican Hall, 7.30pm Tickets £17.50 – 22.50 plus booking fee East London producer, pianist, bandleader and one of the key players in the UK’s young and vibrant jazz reformation scene, Alfa Mist makes his Barbican debut this December alongside his band. He will be presenting new material from his fourth solo album Bring Backs (out on ANTI on 23 April 2021), which reveals a detailed exploration of his upbringing in musical form. The album’s nine tracks of groove-based intricacies, lyrical solipsism and meandering fragmentations are tied together by a poem written by Hilary Thomas expressing the sensuous realities of building community in a new country. The album’s title refers to an aspect of a card game Alfa would play as a child. First producing beats whilst at school in East Ham, Alfa Mist later discovered jazz inspired by the sample culture of hip-hop producers such as Hi-tek, Madlib and J Dilla. Delving deeper, he taught himself to play the piano by ear as a means to dissect these formative records’ harmonic intricacies. He gradually arrived at his own production style of hip-hop rhythms combined with the immediacy of jazz improvisation, all tied together with a pervasive sense of melody. “There’s no access to jazz where I’m from,” Alfa says. “There’s no way I would have come to it without finding those hip-hop records and wanting to understand them.” This performance is subject to government guidelines. Produced by the Barbican On sale to Barbican patrons and members on Thursday 15 April 2021 On general sale on Friday 16 April 2021 Find out more The Barbican believes in creating space for people and ideas to connect through its international arts programme, community events and learning activity.
