About Me
Pianiste a lorigine, eduque a Madrid et Londres, il developpe tres tot ses interets creatifs et commence composer a six ans. Si les germes dun art raffine avaient ete plantes par une education britannique de haut niveau, la reaction sociale a ce climat etouffant et inadequat ne se fait pas attendre : cest en 1998 quil retourne a Montreal pour y commencer un remarquable parcours de boheme. Il y mele musique contemporaine (Symphonie no.1 "Resistance", op.10, Les Americains Brefs (opera), op.16, lieder), improvisation (sur piano, orgue, clavecin, et piano en seiziemes de ton, des cafes aux maisons de la culture), musique actuelle et rock (avec les formations Concorde Crash, Nguyen Ultra et Eiffel Cul), peinture (quelques unes des peintures sont ici affichees), poesie (Faux Nord, Recueil du Sherpa), roman (Du Terrorisme Baroque, Rhetorique de lIncandescence), radio (emission La Seconde Mineure) et happenings politiques (Soirees Lacrymogenes de 2001-02, Cabaret Sarbacane de 2006). En 2005, il rentre au Conservatoire de Musique de Montreal pour y etudier la composition sous Michel Gonneville, et compose des oeuvres pour les etudiants (Musique pour une Greve Etudiante, op.19, Le Parcours de Naunet, op.21, Naos, op.23). Frans Ben Callado est aussi dangereusement porte envers la maieutique, et demeure tres irascible avec les automobilistes...En 2007, il publie son premier recueil de poesie (Visages apres laverse) aux editions Poetes de Brousse.
==========================================================
Originally a pianist, brought up in Madrid and London England, he developed his creative interests at an early age, and began to compose at age six. If the seeds of a refined art had been planted by a high-class british education, the social reaction to this inadequate and stifling climate did not take a long time : in 1998 he returns to Montreal to begin a remarkably bohemian existence. He has tackled contemporary music (Symphony no. 1 "Resistance", op.10, Les Americains Brefs "The Brief Americans" (opera), op.16, some lieder), improvisation (from cafes to municipal cultural establishments, on piano, organ, harpsichord and 16th-tone piano), new music and rock (with bands Concorde Crash, Nguyen Ultra and Eiffel Cul), painting (some of his works are displayed hereby), poetry (Faux Nord "False North", Recueil du Sherpa "The sherpa's book"), novels (Du Terrorisme Baroque "On Baroque terrorism", Rhetorique de l'Incandescence "Rhetoric of Incadescence"), radio (the show La Seconde Mineure "The Minor 2nd") and political happenings (Soirees Lacrymogenes "Tear-gas nights" of 2001-02, Cabaret Sarbacane of 2006). Since 2005, he studies composition at the Conservatoire de Musique de Montreal under Michel Gonneville, and writes pieces for students there (Music for a Student strike, op.19, Le Parcours de Naunet "The journey of Naunet", op.21, Naos, op.23). Frans Ben Callado is also dangerously attracted to maieutics, and remains very edgy with car-drivers...In 2007, he publishes his first book of poetry (Visages apres laverse "Faces after the storm", very badly translatable) through the Montreal publishers Poetes de Brousse.
