M A G M A - Christian Vander

A few pictures stolen from a concert by my favourite band - Magma, in Versailles, March 31. Stolen as it was forbidden and strictly reinforced. I even removed AF assist beam, and shoot without the screen not to be seen !

 

I was on the fourth row and had a great view on this incredible band, inspired by John Coltrane, Bela Bartok and Stravinsky. Pieces run 30 to 45 mn and are so powerful, sophisticated and emotional.

 

For those who would like to discover Magma's music, there is a Magma Web radio - seventhrecords.com/indexuk.html on their site. I would suggest HHaï (they play at the concert - for Vander's voice and energy) and La Dawoitsin to start with a gentle side.. then move to Mekanik Kommando and Kontarkosz.

 

Dedicated to Christian Vander... his music has had a strong influence on me for over 30 years ! Merci Christian ! Hamtaï
