Sofiane Pamart on Sculpting Sound and Drawing Inspiration from Cinema and Sculpture
French pianist Sofiane Pamart discusses his creative process, comparing it to contemplative cinema and impressionist painting. He cites filmmakers Takeshi Kitano and Wong Kar-wai as influences, particularly Kitano's film 'Hana-bi' (1997), which helped him complete his album 'Movie' by deepening his understanding of silence in love. Pamart describes his track 'Cinema' with FKJ as impressionist, and explains that he 'sculpts sound' with his piano, drawing parallels to sculptors Auguste Rodin, Camille Claudel, and Anachar Basbous. He enjoys visiting the Musée Rodin in Paris when the light is good, and admires Basbous's open-air museum in Rachana, Lebanon, where sunlight changes the perception of sculptures throughout the day. Pamart prefers art in symbiosis with nature. He has a concert scheduled at the Stade de France on April 17, 2027.
