about

This double CD is a testimony: bringing together 2 founding pieces - the first volcanic concert of Back to Normal in 1991 and the first concerto by
Baudouin de Jaer (Lucy) in 1993. Back to Normal was a collective of visual artists, musicians and non-musicians. Lucy is played by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra of Liège.

Published in 2017.

Back To Normal

Coordinated by Baudouin de Jaer, the movement Back To Normal (born in Liège, Belgium) gathered between 1991 and 1996 a dozen artists, painters, sculptors, ironworkers, and some musicians of the Royal Conservatory of Liège. Everyone transmitted his knowledge to others, composed his pieces and directed them. Touring France, Poland and Switzerland, 80 people will be there.

Lucy

In 1993 Baudouin de Jaer wrote his first concerto for violin and orchestra: Lucy, premiered by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra of Liège under the direction of Georges-Elie Octors. Equipped with two dictaphones Jaer steps in the dreams of half-sleeps and awakenings. It nestles in a cutting of 15 sections the recorded ideas then slips the whole in a telescopic sound structure that the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra of Liège  propels the evening of the first in space time.
