Amaury Cornut

Musicien aveugle, clochard céleste de la première heure prenant l’apparence d’un Viking, Louis Thomas Hardin (1916–1999), dit « Moondog », est une figure musicale singulière et majeure. Son premier public sera celui de la rue et son succès grandissant l’amènera à se produire dans le quartier des clubs de jazz, devenant ainsi le « Viking de la 6e Avenue ». Guerrier du grand Nord au milieu des cols blancs, il mélange habilement un minimalisme contemporain – il est sacré « fondateur du minimalisme » par Steve Reich, Phil Glass et Terry Riley – et des schémas d’écriture du Moyen-Âge et de la Renaissance. Inclassables, ses compositions empruntent à l’écriture classique tout en renouvelant les procédés rythmiques. Trop écrite pour être assimilée simplement au jazz, trop complexe pour considérée comme de la pop, la musique de Moondog s’est épanouie avec des géants comme Charlie Parker, Benny Goodman ou Charles Mingus et a inspiré une diversité d’artistes allant de Bob Dylan à The Avalanches en passant par Tom Waits. Amaury Cornut, passionné et admirateur de ce personnage unique, décrypte pour nous le trajet, l’univers et la discographie de ce musicien hors normes.

This issue focuses on an aspect of experimental electronic music that might be rather obvious: bringing anything to life usually is a collective effort. Our world and its culture thrives on collaboration, be it between artists or the number of people involved to get a release ready and out into the world. Given the abundance of collaborations, a deep(er) dive into their internal structures is warranted. For example, a recent EP by Phillip Jondo, which features Maxwell Sterling and DJ Plead, clearly designates these collaborations as such. However, the details of how this three-way-constellation developed into a shared practice are not as obvious. With the new issue of zweikommasieben, these details are being addressed in a conversation. Despite being a common practice in the scene, the modus operandi of collaboration is far from clear or pre-determined. :3LON explains in an interview that they often rely on intuition in choosing how to go about working together with others instead of deliberately weighing up interests. Bonaventure goes one step further by questioning the differentiation between solo and collaborative efforts: “Everything I share as a ‘solo project’ is in fact never experienced as such,” she explains in the pages of this magazine. The things we do are as much enabled by as they facilitate the connections we share with other people. zweikommasieben #24 highlights the conditions, intricacies, and consequences of collective efforts in the featured interviews, essays, columns, and artist contributions. All-English issue, 114pages, 165x235mm, zweikommasieben is a magazine that has been devoted to the documentation of contemporary music and sound since the summer of 2011. The magazine features artist interviews, essays, and columns as well as photography, illustration, and graphics.
