Event Description : Alliance Française de Delhi presents Electric Suites by Guillaume Blanc.
Playing in interaction with machines... learning to master their language... that is the challenge of Electric Suites... the sounds of traditional instruments closely intertwined with those of the electronic music... Folklore, Jazz, Beat music, traditional and ancient music, Electric Suites was inspired by this diversity in order to develop a new aesthetic, highlighting the profound aspirations of the creator and of the artist: to provide an artistic language that would be relevant to its time, while preserving a link to its past and origins. 

About the artist:- Guillaume Blanc, violinist and composer 
Born in 1981, Guillaume began playing the violin at age 5. After studying classical violin, he learns to know and love other musical aesthetics by joining the class of the great violinist and teacher of jazz improvisation Didier Lockwood. He also attended the class of Octavio Lopez, renowned contemporary music composer. 
Amongst his numerous collaborations, he had the pleasure of working with the choreographer Céline Pradeu-Kanagasabai on the choreographic pieces CPK-30ans (CPK-under 30 y.o) and Hybrid, around the theme of a shared identity between France and India (tour in the “Alliances Françaises” -French Alliances- in India and Sri Lanka in 2012 and 2013). 
He also composed the original soundtrack for plays, such as Les parents terribles (Terrible parents) and Un numéro d’équilibre (A balancing act) for the Minuit44 company (Avignon Festival, in France, in 2012 and 2013). He was also part of the painter & artist Xavier Ott’s performance on the theme of nature and the sacred, Le passage de Vénus (The passage of Venus). 
In 2011 he was a finalist in Stéphane Grappelli’s Jazz Violin International Competition, winning the award for "Scenic Performance". 
He holds a national degree (“Diplôme d’Etat”) in violin teaching, and teaches violin and viola in several conservatories in France. 
He is currently working on the development of Electric Suites, a Dj Set combining live instrumental and electronic music. 
"The Jazz violinists are not yet legions and Guillaume Blanc is certainly one of the best. In its Electric Suites project, he presents original compositions of a high and rare quality. He deserves a great future, so do go see and listen to him!" 
- Didier Lockwood
