Sebastian Rivas
Music Composition / Sound Installation
" La musique de Sebastian Rivas possède le jaillissement tonique des sources qui rafraichissent la mémoire "
Gilles Macassar
" His music escapes the stranglehold of contemporary academism that threatens any aspiring young composer too worried about the judgment of his peers "
Stéphane Malfettes
"A succession of disconnected and jarring notes emerges from a piano while violin screech in a medoly-free chorus above the roll of thunder - or perhaps of bombs. It is a disturbing and unharmonious sound, but to French ears it is the musical representation of Baroness Thatcher's imprint on history."
Adam Sage
"Le travail de Sebastian Rivas impressionne. La contribution strictement instrumentale témoigne d'une écriture de haute voltige, tout comme l'usage des voix qui parvient à fondre la musique dans la respiration des personnages"
Pierre Gervasoni
" La musica di Rivas, insieme, raffinatissima ed efficace, e sempre straordinariamente "vera" nel dipingere situazione e stati d'animo. Insomma, un'ora e venti di grandissimo teatro musicale..."
Alberto Mattioli
"La musique de Sebastian Rivas, tantôt sourde, tantôt stridente et explosive, semble souvent peuplée de fantômes, tissée des rumeurs venant de ce passé qui ne passe pas"
Maurice Ulrich
