ensemble Grand Plateau (Paris, Nov. 2009)

Brian — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 01:45:58 +0000

ensemble Grand Plateau is an international electronic music/performance group that combines live electronic music with pre-recorded video and live text. Group member include San Francisco-based performance artist Brian Shapiro, and Parisian-based electronic musicians Etienne Pons and Olivier Soubra. All music, video, and text is generated by the three, with additional video images provided by other San Francisco artists, including Adina Segal, and Bijan Yashar.

Small Man/Petit Homme by Etienne Pons, Brian Shapiro, Olivier Soubra from CultureWorks on Vimeo.

During Grand Plateau performances, continuous video serves a both a point of reference and a background as composer Etienne Pons and arranger/mixer Olivier Soubra create music, all the while performance artist Brian Shapiro sings and narrates original story-songs about the human need for and/or rejection of structure. The music (influenced by UK’s Dubstep), text (influenced by Raymond Carver), and video are woven together by the artists to create an original textual-soundscape trough which audience members are taken through the age-old tradition of storytelling.

In November 2009, Grand Plateau recorded a debut CD in Paris, where they also performed live at Ars Longa, a gallery and electronic music venue in Paris’ 11^th district. The yet-to-be titled CD is scheduled for a March 2010 release, when Pons and Soubra will be coming to the United States to join Shapiro for a short tour to promote the CD, with scheduled shows in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Austin, and Berkeley.
