Solastalgia, c’est la rencontre aussi imprévue qu’évidente entre Adriano Perlini et KHAGE (Aleksandr Thibaudeau) réunis pour la première fois pour honorer la mémoire de Didier “Didz” Séverin.
De longues discussions, de nombreux souvenirs, quelques regrets parfois… et une envie commune de puiser dans la profusion de chantiers laissés en cours par ce foisonnant bidouilleur de son.
Héritage sonore évolutif, Solastalgia reprend des sons créés initialement par “Didz”, tant pour honorer la mémoire de leur auteur que pour faire émerger de nouvelles perspectives et explorer un matériau en constante mutation.
Une forme de synesthésie salvatrice et providentielle pour s’éloigner du paradigme dominant de l’affliction vers celui de la continuité permanente.
Requiescat in pace.

Solastalgia is the result of an unexpected yet obvious encounter between Adriano Perlini and KHAGE (Aleksandr P. Thibaudeau) gathered for the first time to honor the memory of Didier “Didz” Séverin.
Long discussions, sharing of many memories, sometimes regrets... and a fellow desire to draw from the plethora of work left in progress by this magnanimous sound tinkerer.
With its evolving sound heritage, Solastalgia brings back sounds initially created by “Didz” to honor the memory of their author and to allow the unfolding of new perspectives and explore a material in constant mutation.
A form of healing and providential synesthesia to move away from the dominant paradigm of affliction towards that of permanent continuity.
Requiescat in pace.
