about

LE PASSAGE 
- THIERRY ZABOITZEFF

Our world is in the midst of turmoil. Human madness forces Earth to defend itself with violent aftershocks, like so many distress signals. Will wisdom finally become the watchword of the times to come, clearing the path to a possible future? This is the undoubtful aim of a masterful, concise record, stretching a mysterious thread between a worried past, here recalled by Jean-Pierre Soarez's trumpet and its 'Zoydian' echoes, a destructive present where forests become deserts, and an uncertain future that we urgently need to be shaped. As an architect of a unique landscape of light and shadow – here is a cosmogony haunted by a underlying beat and unknown chants – where shouts and murmurs merge, melting into the heart of melodies as ancient as they are contemporary, Thierry Zaboitzeff comes to us as a human being aware of the challenges ahead. His radical, fiercely beautiful visions are ours.
(Denis Desassis)

TEXTE ORIGINAL FRANÇAIS
Notre monde est dans la tourmente. La folie des humains contraint la Terre à se défendre par de brutales répliques, comme autant de signaux de détresse. Pour se frayer un passage vers de possibles lendemains, la sagesse deviendra-t-elle enfin le mot d’ordre des temps à venir ? Tel est sans doute le propos d’un disque maîtrisé et concis, tendant un fil mystérieux entre un passé inquiet, que rappelle ici la trompette de Jean-Pierre Soarez et ses échos « zoydiens », un présent destructeur où la forêt devient désert et un futur incertain qu’il est urgent de dessiner. Architecte d’un paysage singulier avec ses jeux d’ombre et de lumière – voici une cosmogonie hantée d’une pulsation sous-jacente et de chants inconnus – où cris et bruissements se fondent au cœur de mélodies ancestrales autant qu’actuelles, Thierry Zaboitzeff avance vers nous en humain conscient des défis à relever. Ses visions radicales, d’une farouche beauté, sont les nôtres.
(Denis Desassis)
