Ephéméra :
Issu from : www.ethnotempos.org extracts :
A rupture asserted himself after collective feastings of the CELTIC PROCESSION on "Les Tombées de la Nuit" (Fallen the night). Because Jacques PELLEN is not man to be bathed too a long time in the same river. This abrupt change of tone is consumed with this Ephemera with the paces of disc solo to the intimism marked and triumphing. The acoustic guitar of Jacques shells there some reminiscences of Breton topics which he draws in flexibility in the regions from a certain atmospheric jazz, in company of faithful companions from now on, with which PELLEN established a complicity with any test.
Controlled suspensions, floatings, divagations and tensions are the master words of these duets and trios with Riccardo Del Fra (double bass) Peter Gritz (percussions) and Paolo Fresu (trumpet, bugle, effects), who evolve little by little in four-bit byte and quintet with in particular Patrick Peron, whose organ hammond and synthés adds an extraterrestrial resonance to the contemplative drinkings of the accomplices.
The human voice does not miss completely, it is even made hear twice: initially in Spires, in the form of singing exercises. Surprised, it is Annie Ebrel who sticks itself to it! Here is a exercise which one hardly expected to see it yielding. Then it is Erik Marchand which intervenes in Letani. And there attention! The radiant roughness of the voice of the singer, superimposed on a voice emanating of some radio wave, with the laments of Fresu, the effects "space" of Peron and with the blazing barkings of the guitar, this time electric, of Pellen, early made hustle the inattentive ears which believed capacity to be left there cheaply while sinking in a lethargy that they believed irreversible.
Not, all here is not which luxury and calms soporific. There were however harbingers... Weren't you said that the gwerz is a song in dramatic matter? Letani is an effective concentrate. Melezour-Dour, which follows, tries to channel these disconcerting waves, but perhaps makes it only diffuse them front... Go, we finish with a stripped resumption (Pellen alone) of Mr. Tambourine Man of Dylan, just to let you believe that all this was only one dream. But which is then this disorder which continues to invade space insidiously? Would the dreams be even more attractive when they make shiver?

Managing, of his stool of drummer, the setting of this music with difficulty classable, Peter Gritz was surrounded recognized instrumentalists, who usually open in different registers from this one, and to which he gives the opportunity of generous and convergent expressions. Some brought their compositions. The result is a rebellious music, which pushes each one to dig his characteristic, and the success comes owing to the fact that this method produced a convincing synthesis which, beyond the party taken of rupture, finds major feelings.
