Fiume Nights • LHASA DE SELA & PATRICK WATSON
Two musicians performing together, two friends singing over a piano. Then the camera pans and opens on what was hidden for the first half - an audience, in a small space. This intimate performance ‘at home’ was in the spirit of what Chryde and la Blogotheque started to develop a few months ago with the Soirees de Poche / Pocket Parties. The idea behind the project was to continue the work we started with the Take Away Shows, stripping down the music to come back to the basics of a live performance (no stage, no distance, often acoustic…) - and this time, with an audience being there, and hopefully being more than an audience. Destroying any idea of hierarchy between creators and spectators to merge them all into one - an ephemeral performance, a commune or even a TAZ… And while the Pocket Parties are a little bit different formally (diverse angles, reworked then in split screens edits), i just shot those little performances with one camera, arranging the set-up to allow me to move a lot around the band, and tell little stories over the course of 3-4 min.
