« NOVO is unclassifiable. No border, no aesthetic divide, no posture, free music from NOVO! Composed of a single vein, the pieces of this CD "50 cents coin" have sometimes been supported by literary or pictorial references : "Sourde impatience" and "Froid parfum de neige" for Stephan Zweig, "L'infinie prairie lisse comme un sable" for Jean Giono, "Pyro ", "50 cents piece" and "Autoportrait,1986 " for Jean-Michel Basquiat. Without wishing to illustrate them, these images came naturally to me, like a resonance to the musical composition. Everyone can find a link or not. I associate the musicians around me with this work, without them the music would not be what it is.» Pascal BERNE
