3 CDs providing an overview of Le UN's work through improvisation in large ensembles (CD1 & 2) in
different acoustics, improvisation in small and medium-sized ensembles (PME), and outdoor performances
in public spaces (brigade d'intervention légère).
Le UN was started in 2012 at the initiative of David Chiesa. In 2019, the team was renewed to concentrate
solely on what is known as free or non-idiomatic improvisation. Key principles being: no recourse to any
sort of score or direction, and improvisation considered not as a style or genre but rather as an attitude to
music making. Improvisation also poses questions about the ephemeral and impermanence: the music
leaves traces, and not proof.
There are 25 of us, including a light artist and a performer. We play on different stages in different venues or
theatres, and we also adapt to exhibition spaces, and we sometimes even invent "devices" that bring
improvisation to the fore. We are increasingly attracted to playing with ideas beyond that of the traditional
stage, to where the ensemble can be conceived as an ecosystem, taking as starting points ethical notions
(the links between us, our rapport with the world and the environment, our choices of self-organisation...)
and aesthetics (accepting or taking responsibility for the contradictions in our own practices, interrogating
improvisation in all its components, and questioning the practice of the frontality of performance...). We
venture into contexts that throw us, like playing on the street, on a river, in caves, in acousmatic situations
with speaker projections, etc. We confront our sounds, our ephemeral discourses with all manner of
surveying. Without quite knowing where we are going, we think that walking, breathing, feeling, looking,
also speaks to a place that is rightly musical.
