Frequently Asked monsters sound

One starts with a song of the 30s, then just modify the electronic stamps, it expands the syllables, words and leaves it leaves room for improvisation, a dance number caricature, then return tirelessly the old tunes.

From yesterday, the great Berlin Cabaret, it remains seeming to glide between two worlds: music, theater, opera to the freak show of the wonderful tragically ugly. Also remains a social satire that has the desire never to "clarify" it plays on the ambiguity of the characters and feelings.

Today, the sound material at the service of expression and theatricality, exceeds the melody. The text loses its original meaning and becomes his. Thus the confusion that appeals to the tavern since its creation is here, clearly represented in music that ranges from representational to abstract.

Presentation - Klangkabarett

The Klangkabarett is a musical that plunges its roots in the cabaret of the first half of the twentieth century and who, not content with "a continuing tradition," attempts to adapt his concerns about this first half of the XXI century and confronts his sounds and music.

From Berlin cabaret of the 30 one finds a sense of slip between two worlds: music theater but also of opera to freak show of the wonderful tragically ugly. Remains, also a social satire that has the desire never to "clarify" it plays on the ambiguity of the characters, feelings. The misery we dress in satin.

Today, the sound is at the service of expression and theatricality. The electronics can handle the stamps as reminiscent of old classical recordings but also make hybrid sounds, pure, dirty, intruders. The instruments use the game modes derived from post-electronic music, especially the voice takes many forms (singing, traditional folk songs, rock, spoken voice, sounds ...).

Klangkabarett The party is the work of Kurt Weill - In collaboration with Brecht especially. He borrowed a few excerpts in "Music Hall" U.S. time of prohibition. It has also inspired silent film by Tod Browning, circus, John Waters and Bob Fosse Cabaret . But its substance is essentially a result of his own compositions.
