Moriarty : Création autour de Robert Doisneau

Pour cette création unique, les Moriarty prolongeaient sur scène la bande sonore qu’ils avaient réalisée pour l’exposition Doisneau et la musique, présentée à la Philharmonie du 4 décembre 2018 au 28 avril 2019, accompagnés de projections vidéo. En prélude à ce concert, (re)découvrez notre rencontre avec Stephan Zimmerli, scénographe, dessinateur et musicien du groupe Moriarty 👉 https://youtu.be/g9_4XrmPRXw

Rosemary Standley – the magnetic Mademoiselle Moriarty

Devoted to cultivating creativity & imagination. Dedicated to philosophers, pilgrims & punks.

ROSEMARY STANDLEY is the lushly imaginative Franco-American lead singer of the enormously creative band Moriarty. The instruments they play reads like a recipe list for the best possible musical feast: xylophone, thumb piano, spoons, tambourine, scotch-tape trumpet, double-bass, music box, suitcase drum, chromatic and diatonic harmonicas, kazoo, drilling machines, Jew’s harp.

 The band’s maverick spirit leads them to play incongruous venues such ‘a mental institution, a prison, a transatlantic ship, a ruined castle in Tuscany, the streets of Paris, and a night train’.  Being the bohemian vagabonds that they are, they tour extensively.

You just get addicted to it.
