Portraits D'ames
Frank Perret began studying music at the age of six. By the time his classical music studies ended, he had won an award for piano and a medal for music theory and composition. He perfected his piano technique with Béatrice HOFFMAN and then Madeleine CURIE, who was Alfred CORTOT's assistant. Later, Frank studied musicology at the Sorbonne where he obtained a two-year degree. For a classical musician, his professional career has been fairly atypical. At sixteen, he was spotted by recording studios which then used his talents as a pianist. He participated in a few Rock and Blues groups and occasionally accompanied pop artists like Marcel AMONT. Also interested in Jazz, he created the group, Acoustic Quartet, which earned the right to include Claude BOLLING's entire "Concerto pour piano jazz et guitare classique" in it's repertoire. His incursions into different types of music do not prevent him from giving classical concerts, solo or in duos, or working with lyrical artists and diverse instrumentalists. His training as a sound engineer and his knowledge of acoustics led him to participate in the "Festival de Théâtre à Paris la Defense" (1992), as acoustical engineer, and as a sound engineer for "Festival du Rire" in Montréal (1998). In 1996, every day for a year, he played live for a radio show that broadcast out of Toulouse (Sud Radio). He has also composed music for several TV films, shorts, documentaries and radio jingles. Then, in 2001, Frank decided to make a life-style change and moved to a small, hilltop village in the Luberon in south-eastern France. He had one idea in mind: to write music without constraint and in total freedom. So, he moved his piano and his work table into the presbytery lent to him by the mayor of the village, and set out to compose. It took three years of work to create these pieces for piano, done in a French romantic style, and inspired by poetry written as a young man. The pieces which make up the album "Portrait d'Ames" are composed in a very personal style the artist continues to develop in the pieces he is working on now and which will appear in his second opus. Reviews: "A fountain of delight, fusion (between piano and man) such that one would almost say it's the piano that is playing the artist." (Keyboard Magazine.) "When a successful pianist is also a talented composer who breathes new life into romanticism, you get 'Portrait d'Ames.' It's only goal is to move and inspire." Frank Perret a commencé la musique à l'âge de 6 ans. Ses études classiques s'achèvent avec l'obtention d'un prix de piano et d'une médaille de solfège et d'harmonie. Il ira se perfectionner auprès de Béatrice HOFFMAN puis de Madeleine CURIE qui fut l'assistante d'Alfred CORTOT. Il suivra des études de musicologie à la Sorbonne où il obtiendra un DEUG. Pour un musicien de formation classique, son parcours professionnel est plutôt atypique. A l'âge de 16 ans il est déjà repéré par les studios d'enregistrement qui utilisent ses talents de pianiste. Il participe à quelques groupes de Rock et de Blues, accompagne occasionnellement quelques artistes de variétés, devient le pianiste pendant un temps de Marcel AMONT et s'intéresse de près au Jazz ce qui l'amènera à créer l'Acoustic Quartet qui aura à son programme entre autre le Concerto pour piano jazz et guitare classique de Claude BOLLING dans son intégralité. Ses incursions dans ces différentes musiques ne l'empêcheront pas de donner des concerts classiques, seul ou en duo, travaillant avec quelques artistes lyriques et différents instrumentistes. Sa formation au technique du son et ses connaissances en acoustique l'amèneront à participer au Festival de Théâtre à Paris la Défense (1992), en tant qu'acousticien, ainsi qu'au Festival du Rire à Montréal (1998) en tant qu'ingénieur du son. Puis pendant un an, tous les jours, il animera musicalement une émission en direct sur une radio française, Sud Radio (Toulouse, 1996). Il fera usage de son talent de compositeur dans un certain nombre de téléfilms, court-métrages, documentaires, jingles-radios. Mais en 2001 il décide de changer de vie, et va s'installer dans un petit village (Grambois) planté en haut d'une colline en plein cœur du Luberon dans le sud-est de la France, avec une idée en tête, écrire sa musique, sans contrainte de temps, en toute liberté. Il installe son piano et sa table de travail dans le presbytère prêté par la mairie du village et écrit des pièces pour piano de style romantique français, s'inspirant de poésies qu'il avait écrites dans son adolescence. Il aura fallu trois ans de travail pour que naissent les pièces qui composent l'album Portrait d'Ames, et que se construise un style d'écriture très personnel qui continue à se développer dans les autres pièces qu'il compose actuellement et qui feront l'objet d'un deuxième opus. CRITIQUES JOURNALISTIQUES « Une fontaine de ravissement, la fusion (entre le piano et l'homme) parait telle qu'on dirait presque que c'est le piano qui joue de l'interprète. » (KEYBOARD Magasine) « Quand un pianiste de haut niveau est aussi un compositeur de talent qui donne au romantisme un souffle nouveau et actuel, cela donne Portrait d'Ames. Son seul but émouvoir. » (LA PROVENCE)- Shop: odax
