Summary :
Is Rhys CHATAM an angel? Appearances can be deceptive. His childlike face and discretion pleads in his favour. And yet this New York composer with a classical training suddenly became attracted to the rock and roll connection. A devilish deviance? Perhaps. But what can be said when he brings together 100 electric guitars, two hundred hands and two thousand fingers in a cold and blueish mist to celebrate a weird kind of mass. CHATAM is high, he flies above his disciples and drags us into his delirium. "Wings of desire" as seen by CHATAM. Another available version: "Les cent guitares, Rhys CHATAM en concert", lasting 16'
