DIEPPA

Democratizing traditions for enjoyment of contemporary audiences is a must. A new generation of listeners demands a new approach and openness. After all, transparency, broad minded access is the aphorism of our generation. -A pianist akin to a new age of listeners- Readings of the traditional repertoire with a deep rhythmic sense, behooving bonding intensity, and freedom are staked.

Artistic ‘Artisanal’ interpretations, -fresh, clean, clear where sounds and phrases, blend into a larger musical story carefully guided, labeled, imaged, with epic intrigue and meaning- embued in a heroic milieu, amidst sheer joy and verve. All accessible in labeled sections. Dieppa invites numerous listens, in either sections, areas, entire tracks or how you may enjoy. Newness demands joyful familiarity. Yet, surely, Dieppa Pianism will always lift your spirit with ingenuity, might and boldness.

When Dieppa commands, it is rhythm and counterpoint, all tethered into an enchanting aural dance. Bringing seemingly incongruent musical worlds together, fortuitously surprising. For the new generation of listeners and expanded percussion section is a mandate.

Eleven strikers, beaters and shakers, two large marimbas summed into a classical orchestra-astound; instruments playing novel sonorities. Democratizing traditions means opening everyone’s mind. Popular and Caribbean players, conservatory trained musicians, rockers, jazzers, soloist prima donnas, binding , creating magical sounds and rhythms. Creativity, innovation and heightened energy, rock the audience and the Clássico Caribe Orchestra….. Nowhere more available than in first area of the suite for Orchestra ‘ Tres Piezas Encantadas ‘ – Inspiracion: De un tema sobre el río Magdalena. Ravel-ian obstinatos, under Hendrix- ian riffs, some sweet Santana-ish melodies, blended with exotic Caribbean dance rhythms and movements unique to Shakira and the northern Colombian coastline.

New ways of sensing giving perspectives that are unique is genius. Henry Ford, Madame Curie, Albert Einstein and Glenn Gould gave life to unnoticed points of views. Gould’s and Einstein’s sensitivity to sound and color relinquished beautiful realities always present. Madame Curie and Henry Ford made a process give birth to a unique experience. Writing, sharing significant and profound happenings illuminates our path to great entertainment, happiness and wisdom. Dieppa’s musical journals, were rhythm, dance, counterpoint and melody are all embroidered into exquisitely written texts: How we Learn Music, Garcia-Marquez and Bartok, Liszt: Music, Rhythm, Dance and Language, Classical Soccer World Cup Artists, Lovers and Warriors, ilucidate. And, when thematic material points at ‘femenine wisdom of the ages’ – Bat Sheva and Cleopatra- Alma Mahler and Lou Andreas Salome, -Shakira, Teresa Carreño, Kahlo and Isabel Allende, Dieppa is unchallenged. Few have the finesse, humor, reference frame and intriguing, stimulating invigorating, distinctive story telling facility. What an experience !

For a magical Journey somewhere between Marquez, Hemingway and the ‘Rolling Stones’, Classico Caribe is where it’s at. Intense, exotic, brave and humorous, entering this frame of mind is rewarding. The new genre is literate, daring, overt, elegant and all-absorbing. Be aware, Caribe never wants to part from you. You will always keep it in your listening. What ‘claves’ will be used, what tunes will come forth, who knows- perhaps you will guide the new sounds. It’s the audience, the composer, the performer all in one sphere- Classico Caribe is all involving. Sounds, word and image resolving. Allow the flow to drift you into a new parameter… Dieppa Experience presents the sounds and sentiments long awaited…
