The loniless of the double bass player when he writes a poem
Fabrice Castanier
In the intimate colours of a deserted Paris and a recording studio in black and white, this visual, musical poem draws us into the climatic jazz world of double bassist and writer Noël Balen.
Suspended time, from which words and sounds arise, powerful and muffled, laden with the demons and ghosts of our days.
