Concept :
Ces dernières années, j’ai approfondi ma spiritualité, grâce à de nombreuses rencontres, des livres, des expériences heureuses ou malheureuses, mais aussi des réflexions. Depuis quelque temps, la physique quantique apporte un éclairage scientifique sur certains phénomènes mystiques de la vie. Ma conviction est que la physique quantique et la spiritualité ne sont pas antagonistes par nature, mais qu’elles parlent plutôt de la même chose, une sorte de tautologie synchronisée, qui est donc devenue un catalyseur essentiel pour cet album. Nous sommes de l’énergie, la musique est de l’énergie et la vie est magique !

Les racines de Time is Color vol.2 s’épanouissent dans l’idiome du jazz moderne. Des morceaux de l’album comme « Comforting Glow » ont des échos de Bill Evans, tandis que d’autres morceaux s’inspirent du hip-hop, du funk, de la soul et de l’électronique. The Luminous World part 2«  est un morceau à fort impact qui met en scène le chanteur américain Tony Moreau, tandis qu’ »Ego Chase » comporte des textes du célèbre saxophoniste et rappeur britannique Soweto Kinch.

Les MC américains JSWISS et Charles X figurent aussi sur l’album, tandis que le saxophoniste et chanteur Braxton Cook ajoute des vibrations soul à l’ensemble. La magie opère encore sur « La Source » et « La Barque du Temps » grâce aux narrations en français d’Arthur H et de Cyrielle Clair, tandis que le trompettiste suisse Erik Truffaz (Blue Note) offre une superbe improvisation sur « The Luminous World Part 1 ».

Concept:
Le titre de l’album avait pour but de susciter la réflexion, d’amener les gens à se demander ce que signifie exactement « Time is Color » (le temps c’est de la couleur). Avec cet album, je voulais partager ma propre perception du temps. Et pour moi, cela signifie que le temps est étroitement lié à la couleur. Le temps peut être considéré comme une chose objective. C’est quelque chose que nous connaissons tous – nous avons des horloges et des calendriers – mais il y a aussi un côté subjectif, car chaque être humain perçoit le temps différemment, en fonction de certaines situations et de certains moments de la vie. Nous pouvons percevoir un moment comme long ou court, par exemple, alors que le temps « objectif » n’est pas si abstrait. Cette idée m’a poussé à essayer d’écrire des morceaux qui traduiraient ces pensées et ces sentiments en musique.

Le résultat : un son jazz/hip hop/urbain puissant. Entre instruments acoustiques (piano, contrebasse, batterie) et textures électroniques, la musique de ce projet a une dimension presque cinématographique. L’arrivée de Tony Moreau, chanteur du Delaware, apporte une couleur encore plus rap et hip hop au projet, qui promet d’être très excitant !

Press:

“Cédric Hanriot, an assiduous creater, dares the invigorating alchemy of composite and resoloute contemporary jazz. A music of scintillating colours, illuminated by the sounds of strings and electronica, that never defy a clear, determined passion for France’s popular melodies.” Citizen Jazz

Concept: The jazz trio that interprets the French song book.

Recorded just after his first experience in the USA during which he studied at the Berklee College of Music in Boston, the first album by pianist Cédric Hanriot revisits a number of popular French songs (Brel, Piaf, Delpech, Nougaro) and rebuilt them in the jazz piano trio context whilst preserving the essence of each song. The line-up is prestigious: John Patitucci on bass and Terri Lyne Carrington on drums. They anchor the rhythmic base of a project embellished also with a string quartet, vocals on several songs and electronic sounds and fxs. Cedric without hesitation, seized this opportunity to also co-write a song with the drummer Terri Lyne Carrington, with whom he has collaborated for quite a few years. Carrington, in turn, used this occassion to also sing the composition. Their hip-hop jazz piece “Your Sweetness” is a tribute to some of Gainsbourg melodies, whilst also illustrating their love of Afro-American music. It is quickly understood, in listening, that the stories told here enthusiastically by Cedric Hanriot illustrate the musical adventure of a multifaceted artist – pianist, composer, arranger, sound designer, producer. We will surely be hearing more about him soon.

    Concept:
    The POLAROÏD SONGS concept is a musical world tour featuring live scenes from numerous tours by two composers Bertrand Beruard and Cédric Hanriot.The project aims to propose the personal vision of an ideal world, through values such as parity, the use of digital tools at the service of the human, the richness of the diversity of influences.

    Polaroïd Songs offers a vision of the world recomposed through the prism of the subjectivity of the two composers. This appropriation is done in the manner of Béla Bartók’s imaginary folklore, that is to say by the assimilation of local folk material (melodies, rhythm, textures) but also local languages, dialects and moods, in order to create an original music and not a “pastiche” of local music.

    “Break walls!” Is ultimately the main message. To demolish prejudices, which the fear linked to ignorance / ignorance finally gives birth to … this fear that prevents us from “daring”.

A time, a moment, a piece

Since their first collaboration on the album frogNstein in 2006, pianist Cédric Hanriot and drummer Franck Agulhon always imagined putting together a project in which they could explore new musical territories in tandem. This has now been made a reality, as they recently recorded their first duo album together in January 2016. DAY musically traces a journey through a typical working day. From each phase to the next, morning alarm to bedtime, traffic jam during the lunch break, each piece depicts an everyday moment.

“This is music with its roots in the Miles Davis Quintet of 1963-68, a combination of intellectual rigour, technical brilliance and graceful lyricisism.”

Richard Williams, the Blue Moment

 

“Cédric Hanriot has created an “improvisational concept” that takes mainstream jazz styles for quintet and links them to literary and artistic archetype. ”

Downbeat

“Hanriot, a swinging stylist who can keep several ideas afloat at once, make notable contributions as well, moving the hardbop ethos into present times.”

Tom Greenland, The New York City Jazz Record

It all begins around a science fiction story by Dan Simmons

Jason Palmer and Cédric Hanriot met during their studies at Berklee College of Music, Boston, USA. They are both fascinated by science fiction.

The very essence of American trumpeter Jason Palmer and French pianist/composer Cédric Hanriot’s improvisational concept City Of Poets – centered around Olivier Messiaen’s 7 Modes of Limited Transportation and US author Dan Simmons’ acclaimed, four- novel science fiction series Hyperion Cantos – is sufficiently intriguing to prompt further exploration of its background and, indeed, the artistic collaboration and musical output it has inspired.

The album Electrify my Soul is the first realization of the frogNstein project carried out by Cedric Hanriot (piano, keyboards, programming, compositions, arrangements) and Bertrand Beruard (electric bass, double bass, programming, compositions, arrangements), eager to propose a modern music close to their influences: electro-groove-jazz. The album proposes a journey through many rich and varied environments, where those two composers/arrangers did not set themselves any limits to the instrumentation but also to the music styles. 22 speakers bring their touch to this semi-biological, semi-cybernetic creature called frogNstein – we can hear on this album horns and strings, voices of three continents, two drummers as well as programming. Among them some famous guests appear: drummer Franck Agulhon, American singer Dean Bowman (John Scofield), trumpet player Guillaume Poncelet (No Jazz), singer/poet Chinese Coco Zhao… This opus electrifies the eardrums as well as the entire body…
