passepied
Jean-Michel Blais
passepied - taken from Jean-Michel Blais' new album 'aubades', listen now https://mkx.lnk.to/JMBaubades - out on Mercury KX / Arts & Crafts
A teenager’s obsession with Baroque dance. With punchy colour and rawness, the film dives into the young man’s imaginative inner world, and follows his journey of self-discovery and self-expression through his fanatical love for the passepied, a historic French court dance. It shifts feverishly between his modern-day urban realities and his decadent Baroque fantasies – eventually spinning into one delirious, heady dance of escapism.
In docufiction style, director Adrian Villagomez sets Jean-Michel’s passepied to a film of vulnerable beauty and striking visuals, poignantly depicting reality and dream states through the pairing of 16mm (real-life documentary) and digital (dream) film.
The title of Jean-Michel’s piece passepied references the lively, fast-paced dance popular in the 17th and 18th century French court. Composer Claude Debussy composed his own version of the dance in his Suite bergamasque for piano. Inspired by Debussy, Jean-Michel writes a new passepied for the 21st century, which features on his new album aubades.
aubades is his first journey into writing for chamber orchestra. The release is a vibrant and expressive album of warm tonalities and rich instrumentation, taking its title from Medieval love songs about lovers parting at dawn.
