Les Disparus - Music

Born In France 1951 Nogent-Sur-Marne French Composer
by Christine Labroche And Virginie Pallu Bernard Cavanna's Musical World Is Strictly His Own Iconoclastic Eclectic Willingly Provocative And Often Filled With A Violence Drastically Opposed To His Soft Nature. He Cultivates Contrast By Combining A Shrewd Writing Style With Popular Resurgences Working With Tonal As Well As With Dissonant Sonorities Opposing Rawness To Harmonic Subtlety And Shifting From A Fine Timbre Research To Brutal Sounds. Whether They Lull You Shake You Mark You Or Hurt You Cavanna's Compositions Consistently Bear The Mark Of An Inner Urgency That Reflects His Thorough Attention To The Tiniest Technical Detail According To The Intense Outlook He Has On The Radiance Or Dilemma Of Humankind Underlying His Inspiration.
