Instrument

Studies

He plays and has developed an increased bass trombone, equipped with various sensors that allow it to control MIDI messages according to his movements and his game has found, as has become rare today, language and a very personal approach. This is one of the few people who can integrate computing and playing the trombone on stage, although this does seem artificial. His writing focuses on bare essentials and left to improvise the place it deserves. He studied drums, trombone, management and orchestration: Course battery EJMA, Lausanne 1985-86, Gaëtan Fama. Delémont trombone during 1986-87, Jean-Jacques Orzan. Delémont trombone during 1991-93, Michael Garcia. Certificate trombone, La Chaux-de-Fonds in 1995, Jacques Henry. High professonnel trombone, 1998 Delémont, Jannick Speisser. Direction and orchestration, Lausanne 1996-98, and Jean Pascal Favre Balissat. Camp Symphony Orchestra JM 1992-93.

Denis was born in Beuret JU Delémont, Switzerland, July 24, 1965, lives in Semsales FR, father of three children. Denis Beuret is professor of trombone, composer and musician in several contemporary music ensembles, jazz, alternative, electronic music and improvisation.

Collaborations

He has played with many musicians including Swiss Hans Koch, Vinz Vonlanthen, Franziska Baumann

Influences

Approach

His way of working and his current musical approach integrate electronics with live play bass trombone and grow in three directions:

His influences are trombonist Albert Mangelsdorff, Bill Watrous, Vinko Globokar and Jay Jay Johnson, but also more generally, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Igor Stravinsky, Christian Vander, John Cage, Richard Wagner, Claude Debussy, Pierre Henry Pierre Schaeffer, ... His diverse influences from both jazz, classical, contemporary and electroacoustic found in his music an ideal playground where they can mingle in his personal language yet available, because it speaks to feelings.

On the one hand, it completely control the bass trombone throughout its range of 5 octaves and her sonic palette. It uses only as Albert Mangelsdorff before it reached him, the double sounds. He integrates his game formants and emission of sound and mutes ordinary and unusual. It uses over the mouth of the trombone, nozzles and various mouthpieces (horn, tuba, saxophone, clarinet, flute, bassoon, ...), in the spirit of Vinko Globokar. All these combinations allow it to vary the sound of his instrument like no one has done before him.

On the other hand, it has developed an increased bass trombone that is equipped with sensors, sensor uses external interface Eobody and a MIDI pedal to control music programs such as Max / MSP and Logic Pro while playing. This program applications and graphical interfaces tailored to his material and his music in Max / MSP and Logic.

Finally he developed various scripts graphics adapted to his music inspired graphic notation of Morton Feldman and Vinko Globokar.

What he achieves is a fusion of the bass trombone in an electronic world in which all sounds are from the bass trombone and processed in various ways.
