INTERVIEW
Jean-Louis Aubert who sings on stage surrounded by ... several other Jean-Louis Aubert, on guitar, drums or piano. This is the visual result of the device imagined by the singer for his new tour. A desire that goes back a long time, but that took several years before being able to see the day, as the artist entrusts to the microphone of Europe 1 in Music! with Émilie Mazoyer.
"We are a bit the first to do that"
It was when he read a science fiction book "where there was a singer who performed on roofs with his avatars" that envy took him. "After, I spoke to everyone," says Jean-Louis Aubert on Europe 1. His wish has materialized for his new tour. On stage, Alter Ego 's performer creates musical and visual loops, allowing him to appear as a hologram whenever he wishes. "It took two years of calculations and programming to make machines talk to each other," says the singer. "I love the fact that scientists work with artists," he says.
After several dates in Paris, Jean-Louis Aubert will follow up with a series of concerts in the Zéniths of France. "I'd love to present it to as many people as possible, we're the first ones to do it live, without pre-registration," says the artist. With this system that allows him to multiply artificially, the singer believes he has more freedom.
The Bataclan, "between resistance and resilience"
With this hologram system, Jean-Louis Aubert is currently finishing his residency at Bataclan. The singer had eight scheduled dates between the end of November and the beginning of December. This is a particularly special moment for the artist, who explains the importance of performing in this place touched by the attacks of November 13, 2015. "We are all united, without really forgetting, I often say that it is between resistance and resilience. "he describes. "I do not want this room to become a supermarket or a parking lot, it is very important.If it closed, I feel we would be beaten twice," said Jean-Louis Aubert.
