LE COMMANDANT COUCHE-TÔT
A CINEMATIC MUSICAL JOURNEY
A 45–50 minute immersive audiovisual live experience.
Le Commandant Couche-Tôt invites audiences on a colorful journey through imaginary soundtracks, cinematic funk, psychedelic grooves and electronic landscapes.
Performed solo on stage, the show combines live instrumentation, carefully crafted Ableton arrangements and original musical compositions.
The music unfolds alongside a rich visual narrative, bringing together specially commissioned imagery, original creations, animation, archival footage and collaborations with visual artists.
More than a concert accompanied by projections, this is a complete audiovisual experience: a musical journey with its own narrative, atmosphere and cinematic identity.
One musician. A collective visual universe. A journey beyond the ordinary concert experience.
Duration: 45–50 minutes.
Format: Solo audiovisual live performance.
Suitable for music festivals, independent cinemas, cultural venues, multidisciplinary festivals and audiovisual arts events.
It was in a dark cinema that my three-year-old son and I discovered the music of Le Commandant Couche-Tôt.
And yet, his music is all about colour: the iridescent impressions of films projected onto the screen are echoed by polychromatic, impressionistic keyboards.
The Commandant’s pianos, Fender Rhodes and other synthesizers thus accompany the viewer-listener on a multisensory journey.
His musical palette reflects a wide and varied range of influences: British acid jazz (Galliano, Brand New Heavies, Jamiroquai), 1970s funk (Deodato, Donald Byrd, Lonnie Liston Smith), and film music (François de Roubaix, Lalo Schifrin and Quincy Jones).
A wonderful sensory awakening for young and old alike!”
