anne :
Can you say what the piano is for you?
Alain Laplantin :
Piano, when played on a real one, is a magical instrument, my bitch!
I mean that you can pass as a musician even if you play nonsense.
The acoustics and its intrinsic class contribute a lot, I imagine.
anne :
Is it anything that rhymes with o?
Alain Laplantin :
The piano is beautiful, but you will permit me to quote the wrestling team Cryme Time WWE's "Yo!"



anne :
In the "Suite Royale", one gets the impression that you go down in the basement of a castle ...
Alain Laplantin :
I actually wanted to express the disappointment caused by the Dadis Camara phenomenon.
A lot of hope was put on him in the circles of television and film,
but he seems more and more preoccupied by his own revelation in 2009.
One must believe that the dictatorship will not wait for ... its people.
So no castle, but a bunker, yes!
anne :



A bunker like that? At the seaside?
Alain Laplantin :
Yo !
anne :
There is something happening in this album between the bottom and the top. What do you think?
Alain Laplantin :
I see more duality front / rear and the resulting stall ...
because basically, before, after and during Dadis there is always a bad ruler.
anne :
Can a musical instrument be an instrument of power?
Alain Laplantin :
This is unfortunately no longer the case since groups like Boytronic or hits like "Jo le Taxi" are rampant.
The "known" music has lost its credibility and its role for far too long.
Moreover, the renewed interest in the DJ does not help.
Because they simply press the play button on a player and lift their 2 arms in the air to reap a round of blowjobs
without anyone being shocked, musically and morally speaking. The inanity of kitsch seems to pay.
Electronics and the intrinsic shame of the turntable contribute a lot, I imagine.
anne :
Are the high notes taking authority and the low notes are submitting?
Alain Laplantin :
On the contrary, I especially like the low notes, whatever the instrument.
The basses have been the foundation of all my music for over 20 years;
the high notes I use only to widen the sound spectrum.
anne :



There you replied technically
but I wanted to ask, what happens in
the top of the range, and in the bottom?
Why does Ôde à Gaino go so far in the treble
(in the second movement) and the Suite royale goes
so low? I feel what I told you earlier,
values of authority and submission.
Alain Laplantin :
The descent into the lows (Suite royale) expresses disenchantment,
while the rise in the treble (Ôde à Gaino) depicts the course
in the upper echelons of the great advisor to impose his great
borrowing of tomorrow. The overacted enthusiasm shown by the excessive rise
in the high notes, so to speak.
