about

For seven days and seven nights, the Palace of Versailles welcomes Saycet and his sound and video team for a unique project. Accompanied by organist Alexandra Bartfeld and the vocal ensemble Les Métaboles, Saycet creates an acoustic adaptation of his title "Solaris" using the sound universe, musical instruments and acoustics of the Palace of Versailles. This is how "Messa Solaris" was born, a title and a video which will soon be available, an extraordinary result of this unique collaboration. With “Messa Solaris”, Saycet's music blends with the power of the places of the Palace of Versailles as if to offer them a reflection, a celebration of their nocturnal aesthetic. By bringing into resonance the unique acoustics of the Château and his own artistic composition, Saycet finds the meeting point between the instruments and the infinitely musical echo of his images. From the Royal Chapel to the Gabriel Staircase, from the Galerie des Batailles to the Galerie des Glaces, the succession of perspectives and dreamlike details takes place with the metronome of clocks, which mark the measure of time as well as that of music. With the organ of the Chapel in a melodic queen line, strikingly modern, this Sun Mass thus becomes an ode to the Palace of Versailles, today the cradle of innovative creations, always godfather of the arts. And when a silence, in the piece, shows these plaster faces, these secular silhouettes of the Galerie de Pierre, it is the spirit of the place which is there, embodied, and which seems in the following time to inhabit the choristers. Metabolas - their appearance of statues already belonging to a form of eternity. It is this extraordinary experience that we invite you to relive at the Château de Versailles, before the outing, by meeting the artistic team and the production team.

At first glance, Saycet's journey may seem peculiar. In reality, it is extremely fluid, as if guided by an external force pushing towards the logical fulfillment of his destiny as a musician, composer and producer. A backward evolution away from our current era, which churns out artists non-stop. A path that has made him a figurehead in the French electronic music landscape. ... more
