Ici & Maintenant FM Radio (Paris) 1986
Live concert in the studio of the radio, with live broadcasting, from 10 PM to 6 PM.
Line up: Christoph Harbonnier, Serge Leroy, Christian Wittman.
"Ici & Maintenant" ("Here and Now !") was one of most famous alternative underground
"free" radio FM in the Paris area. New musics, Zen Buddhism, alternative politics, culture
and interactivity were the radio's trademark. Bruno Heuzé, journalist and one of the
musical programmators of "Ici & Maintenant," invited us to play a live concert during
a whole night in the studio of the radio. We moved all our equipment (modular synthesizers,
Polymoog, PA system, etc.) into the small underground studio. After a whole day of
soundcheck and technical rehearsals, we started playing at 10 PM for hundreds of thousands
of people listening to their radios at home. Soft blue light, candles and, as far as we remember,
various drinks: we felt in ideal surroundings, and we played and improvised music until 6 AM.
During the breaks, listeners were calling the FM station and we had a live dialogue with them.
Most of them evoked the images, the feelings provoked by the music, and we had some in
depth-discussion about music, electronics and creation. The technical set-up was perfect,
the sound was flawless, the balance and the live mixing were excellent: today it still remains
a fantastic experience for us. Bruno Heuzé will join Lightwave a bit later.
All the concert was recorded on a Revox tape machine.
