The Ocora-Radio-France recordings of traditional musics from everywhere, many from Africa and India ; all my friends ; a concert of Archie Shepp in the 80's... so long to list !
« Chez Dupont, tout est bon » (S. Loupien, Libération )
Leading Dupont T , he releases in 2007 "Spider's Dance" (****Jazzman) , inviting Rudresh Mahanthappa for recording and performances in France and in the US.
In search of a modern folklore, the poetic alchemy in his music shows his fascination for new forms - improvisation has to be a game with new rules – as well as unexpected elements of rooted traditions, with an expressive and steady tone.
...from formal constraints to total improvisation; from pure acoustic, to electric bass or pure electronic…
« Révélation 2005 » in Guitarist-Bass for his solo album « Ultraboles », he plays the double-bass in KARTET (since 1990 with Benoît Delbecq, Guillaume Orti, Chander Sardjoe), and electric bass in THÔT, Stéphane Payen’s band with Gilles Coronado and Christophe Lavergne.
He co-leads SAWADU, with Cameroon master drummer Brice Wassy and guitarist Hervé Samb, from Senegal.
He performed and recorded with such jazzmen as Robin Eubanks, Harold Land, Steve Lacy, Glenn Ferris, or Jozef Dumoulin, slammer Felix J, Laurent De Wilde, Magic Malik, Hasse Poulsen, Stefano Di Battista, Fabrizio Cassol, Mathias Ruegg, Paolo Fresu, Noël Akchoté, Matthieu Donarier, Manu Codjia, Carlo Rizzo, Steve Argüelles, Pepa Päivinen, Stephane Galland, Mathieu Michel, Wolfgang Puschnig, the Vancouver Improvisers’ Collective... as well as the parisian underground scene.
Out of jazz, he also performed with Fodé Diop Sabar Group (Sabar Ring), with Kamilya Jubran, Nabil Khalidi, Toufic Farroukh, Elie Maalouf, Youssef Hbeisch, Joshua Levitt, Saeid Shanbehzadeh…
He studied with bass master Jean-François Jenny-Clark, and occasionnally with Dave Holland, Paul Motian Trio, Miroslav Vitous, Don Cherry, Steve Swallow...

Quand un quatuor classique s'enflamme sur un rythme à 5 temps, porté par un quartet de jazz et des tambours de l'Afrique et des Antilles, notre sale histoire commune liée par les chaînes de l'esclavage s'écrase devant l'évidence que l'humanité respire et gronde dans l'altérité.

Hey there, Here's one from left field... Ever wondered what to do in the event of a nuclear threat? A while back I came across some very disturbing information, which inspired me to make this video: Living Under the Shadow of the Nuclear Umbrella http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaIim3Rj7L4 Both artistic (ensure you've good enough sound to enjoy the background music!) and educational, it primarily comprises official British government civil defence advice. Though the source materials are somewhat aged, the fundamentals remain relevant today. I encourage all to visit the YouTube web page above to learn more (Show your support! Rate! Comment!) and responsibly re-post and circulate as widely as possible. Help to raise awareness. Say have you checked out my web site (http://www.faberoptime.com) recently? Take care and keep in touch. Best, Faber. "Just a guy trying to make the world a better place."
