Improvisations recorded on October 14 2019
at GRRR Studio by Jean-Jacques Birgé
in the order which they have been played

Cover © JJB
Photo of the trio © Peter Gabor

75 minutes

As for albums "Game Bling" with Ève Risser and Joce Mienniel (2014), "Un coup de dés jamais n'abolira le hasard" with Médéric Collignon and Julien Desprez (2014), "Un coup de dés jamais n'abolira le hasard 2" with Pascal Contet and Antonin-Tri Hoang (2015), "Questions" with Élise Dabrowski and Mathias Lévy (2019) and the live show filmed "À l'improviste" with Birgitte Lyregaard and Linda Edsjö (2014), cards from the game Oblique Strategies by Brian Eno and Peter Schmidt were randomly chosen as scores for the musicians.

Films of some concerts, where the audience choses the cards, are also online on YouTube (with Collignon, Desprez, Contet, Hoang, Lyregaard, Edsjö)...

WD-40 has been partly filmed by Peter Gabor to be used in a project on Jean-Jacques Birgé.

Jonathan Pontier mixes his little keyboards (Arturia Microbute, Roland Ju-06 Boutique, Yamaha Reface CP, Moog model D) while I use Kontakt and Komplete on Mac, plus Ensoniq VFX-SD, Roland V-Synth, Lyra-8, The Pipe, Tenori-on and a few acoustic instruments. Christelle plays on a Cherry built by François Vendramini plugged on Fender Hot Rod DeLuxe III.
